Craig Hi Craig- Those are the extension arms for the FLIR screens, and they are metal watch parts that were “close enough” cool thing is though, they still get gloss coated and oil washed, so they pop a little more..but otherwise were left as bare metal. cheers P scvrobeson, Greg W and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
