I've been messing with a mini lathe for a bit (learning how to use the bugger) planning on making parts for the scooter and other things, so my first project was to replace the god awe full spacers that Givi supplied with the top case base plate that were prone to rust and way too short for my liking. I decided to use 316 stainless steel, It's not perfect but I'm very pleased with the way the parts turned out.
I have a question maybe someone can help me out with, how can I chuck a part and not have the part marred by the chuck? Thanks

Now there is acceptable space between the base plate and the plastic, before there was less space than the thickness of a dime. I made the 2 smaller spacers 5mm bigger and the larger spacer 4mm bigger hoping to raise the back of the case a tad to keep the top open, it seems to work on level ground. LOL
