Very nice, I figured it would be something like that since the pivot balls already have a nice hex built in to them.
But... given the price of heli-coil kits, are replacement spindles pre-modified going to be available? I'm fairly sure I already know the answer based on my experience with BMI so far, but just thought I'd double check
