Well: It's late at night and I have been feverishly posting RMKs to my website. I have read a good bit of your ideas, some of which I think quite excellent. Of course, it really doesn't matter what I think but it does matter what ya'll want to build and how...and with what.
Let's start with some spacers...OK? For some of the new folks lurking as well as contributing, red, white & blue spacers are the "default" (if you will). All red or all black spacers can be substitued at no additional charge. They "are" an option..."BUT":...(Aaahh...Got another one in)...they are "not" a chargeable option, therefore we would still have all 4 of our option choices left, the custom Amboyna using 1 option of the 5 allowed.
Other spacer options? OK: Aluminum & black, Aluminum & red...or a smooth nickel silver collar "could" be used...but: "WHY"? We have a brass hilt. I should think you crew members should chose something in brass, if you are going to use an option on spacers.
Assuming that this is a possibility, brass & black, brass & red, a smooth brass collar or a scalloped brass collar are your choices for your spacer arrangement.
We have 4 options at our disposal and it certainly would add to the artistry of this large camper to chose one of these options. Of course, having said that, I LOVE red, white & blue spacers and 2 of my most-often used RMKs have standard red, white & blue spacers.
...........But...Alas: It's your choice. Let's hear from you. No vote...not just yet.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
