Location: Chicago | I have it was a very tedious process. Had to incorporate a small drill bit to get the rest of the old lip dislodged enough to insert the new one. Even still then I had to cut some of the length off the new one to insert it. Epoxied it up and bait was back in business. Now that I remember the middle of the lip where there's the slotted part that slips in on the bottom is a little thicker than the M9 slot so you have to shave and fit till it slides in . |

I mill new lips out of solid Lexan. They are the exact same size as the originals but extra tough. |
