Well me and a buddy had an idea to test the mod on an Avid Juicy Five brakes handle the oil to the wire, and strangely enough it went!
It took Actually not so long it was just very hard to figure out what to do, and now I wonder am I the first to have done it or is there anyone else here who has done the same thing?

machined my own topload stem out of a block of 6061
so far its slipping less than my old DK alpha stem
also globbed a bunch of fiberglass+resin on the end of my pedal (you can kinda see it) after grinding a bunch of it off trying to learn superbike slides. The glass and resin wears a lot slower than the original plastic
Also made a grind plate for my other pedal and attached it using pedal pins, as well as putting petal pins into my plastic pedals. (Im not sure if i posted this one already). The grind plate is holding up even though its kind of chipped off in some spots now.
and I also did the spoke mod for my brakes but no pics of that because its pretty self explanatory
AANNDD i recovered my old macniel fat capital seat
