Ya'know my first thought seeing the title of this post was Damn, someone thinks just like me!
Then I realised that I made the thread.

And felt stupid.
Not as stupid as the time I hard forgotten napster was on, and ended up downloading from myself on the Morpheus network. Wondered how i was getting 600kbyte+ on a 90kbyte max DSL connection.
I fixed all my Eclip issues with silicone. Works just fine for now. I think I'll probably go with snap rings in the end though. Seems like a better solution without drilling and tapping stuff.
