ST-16610 lugs vs gen

Very welcome enjoy!

What kind of technique did you use for filing? Did you just go straight up and down with the flat file, evenly across the flanks? Did you use like a marker or tape as a guideline or did you just purely eyeball it?

I went at it from the top side (sideways) rather then up and down.

I eyeballs this one yes. But it would be better to make some markings for guidelines. It's what I did for my 2nd attempt at slimming case lugs.

I’m sad that I can’t see the pictures. Would have loved to see the progress.

I’m planning on re-shaping a bit my Daytona case and would love to see the images too.

Man, this thread is a goldmine for anyone trying to fix those chunky ST lugs—props to @Perpetual for turning case mods into an art form!
