my Lightning Rods are done

i got a 1/2 inch roll pin (tension pin) and cut them to the length of the original ring. it worked just like the original ones.

Awesome man. I am glad you were able to pull it off. Great job, you should patent that.

Heh... reminds me of when my girlfriend at the time asked me how they worked. I wasn't exactly sure at the time.

I was sure her suggestion that "one's forward, one's reverse and one's just for show" was definitely wrong, though!
