I spy a splitfire tailing that sexy BallPivot Grennett! I'm running a non ball Grennett and a Split on my TS rig right now. Dug out and trimmed a Bennett tonight that's coming your way Monday for a new pivot and stamping. Or maybe I'll ship you the cleaned up one you already made for me to have retro fitted. Either way color me excited..
