It was easier and more fun than I thought but with a lot of check and cut patience in between the innings.
Dremels, especially with an aggressive cutting chuck can be rather quick to disintegrate metals. On that note, one should see how much of aluminum shavings ended up on the shop floor while grinding away with the Dremel to shape shift these latch teeth into place. Makes a barber shop floor in the hood look spotless. LOL.
This one of one pup already feels under half the weight of the original cast piece.
When I get a chance, I'll scale it along with the factory pieces and see where it all floats.
