Thanks boys :)
I have done the height reduction and now it's spot on. Finally it's just below 21mm.
I found a very good pic, with less (if any) scoop effect.
I am happy how it's been. It was quite stressing.... ouff!!!

Just read the title! ;-) but I never rule anything out :mrgreen: :mrgreen: It'd be fine that there were a low price example of this, though since I am showing how to do it, I reckon everyone will do it in plastic!! :lol:
