There were 4 weighing 300 grams each, the new ones are 180 grams each......1/2kg weight saving.

Nice one Brett, I must admit I thought that would take longer.

OK, you wont get this one, There is only 1 which originally weighed 50 grams, the new one weighs only 19 grams.

well if i'm correct and by process of elimination, its' not something machined, so you'll hve had to make it by hand,

and 50 gms is half the mass of a pinnion nut, unless its not in steel origionally,

butn in guesing it was in steel origionally and now its in aluminum,
or do i already know tha answer to this, ?
