with ya on that Capt!!
This is my 4" #2 with Doug's silver...my stomach constricted almost to the point of vomit when I noticed a slight "gap" in the spacer...it's remained the same since then...the thickness of a business card....I still get sick looking at it....I've got another piece(speaking of 10 years), and I believe it's probably o.k. now....maybe...
