Same shape as the old ones, but the profile in now CNC machined with a cutting tool, rather than water-jet cut. The 82-degree countersink is also CNC'd (repeatably perfect) and the whole thing anodised black.

If you don't like black, a different colour is a rattle-can away LOL.

Seriously - at this time I didn't see that having a stock of the usual colours (black, blue, red, silver) as being justifyable. Maybe I will if enough folks dislike black - comments would be welcome.

I do need to figure out how to optimise the installation of the studs to avoid distressing the anodising. I've got a few work-arounds that I'll try out.

I'm not sure who invented countersinks.
It was you who pushed me into doing the 82-degree countersinking for 100% of the last batch however... :)

They are 1/4" UNF to match the threads in the main cap.
