pam89 CG upgrade

[watchpt]

Hey guys, I know the pam89 isn't a super rep mainly due to the CG being the wrong shape. The rep CG is too sloped at the ends for a E version which should be thicker and fairly level across. The inside corners of the CG are also somewhat rounded(The corner is made from three cuts to make a somewhat rounded inner edge) instead of fairly sharp. I was able to source a Sead A-F Ti CG which is closer to the gen shape. I then performed a CG modification that I learned how to do from here

I also filed the bottom of the cg so that it would sit flush with the case.

Here are some pics.

It's not perfect but it's close.

Update: Here is what it looks like face on. You can tell the inner edges are much sharper than the rep. Much closer to gen.

Thanks. Filing with different grade files gradually using finer grit. Finishing with very fine sand paper.
