I'll give you some approximate diameters: pads, exterior dimension: 4 1/8" pads, interior dimension: 3 1/4" housing, including lip: between 4 1/32" and 4 1/16" (closer to 1/16 I think, about 4 inches + 1mm (only have my Leatherman handy so its hard to be terribly precise)) lip that holds...

well said. I think you may have gotten jumped on a little because you didnt drown your post in the usual imo iirc ime etc disclaimers that everyone here feels the need to cover their arses with. Youre talking about what brings you more pleasure, which is what really matters, as we all hear a...
