[QUOTE="BriarPipeNYC, post: 513397, member: 4199"] Thanks, [color=#ff0000]Kevin[/color] for the great little story. I'm almost pragmatically ready, at this point in my life, to say ..."who gives a flyin' "fig".... about some meaningless crack; gap; space; clearance. I'll let the next owner worry about this pipe, and, the extra few thousandths of an inch. If I hadn't see the subject of this thread, I probably would never have asked forum members about my dreaded, "shrinkage" problems. BoB members....y'all know how it is....mention "shrinkage" to any guy.... and they break out in a cold sweat. I decided that I'm not gonna worry about any tiny stem/shank gaps. It is what it is, and I'll deal with it. But then again, one day I might get a bug up my butt, and take some sand paper to the now too long Delrin tenon, and take a few thou off the tip. Sort of a "tenon bris". Just because I can. Frank NYC Thanks for all the interesting postings. [/QUOTE]
