ive ran it as hard as it will hasnt moved and it dont spin at all and seems to seal as you say just like the buku i packed it with grease and after 1/2 a day of playing it was still full of grease and no dirt in front bearing so im happy with it. Im not trying to sell them i just cant see paying for something i can make. I also have made some out of lexan but they were clear and didnt show up well in the pics... The brass one isnt strong enough to hurt anything as its super thin. i can and will make 27 of them for $2.79 as i need them. once again to each his own.
