I have a set of thin retainers (hockey sticks) and the ECV retainers. I can use the ECV retainers as a templet to drill up the other set... if you are interested. The ECV set is about 100 bucks and the normal ones about 35 a set.

Sad thing is they will keep on doing...
If this is true it sounds very childish if we have a disagreement and he took is ball home. I am sad for this person.
There are a lot of people here willing to help. Unless the GOBC puts a stop to it...
