Oh ok gatcha, haha was a little worried you might have cut something out that wasn't supposed to be.

I think you'll be taking out as much material as I will when I do mine. If you can show me the back of the bowl after you have it cut out to the desired size, that would be great.
Also, will you be using JB weld?

Thanks man, I appreciate it

No need for apologies, its that time of year.

Though I will say, its been amazing weather here in NC. Roughly 75 yesterday and pretty close today as well. Kinda crazy if you ask me.

That's what someone told me. It shouldn't sit too close to the lens but if that's how it fits, its not really a problem. Though I'm going to try and have them further back.
I figured it out to use the threads on the projector. I cut a hole 51 mm center on where the lows where sitting and I put a 1-1/2 washer on the back but I had to cut a 1/8" off with a plasma cutter but it fits perfectly and the projector sits an 1-1/2 at least away from the lens all I need to do is adjust the shroud. I'll have a whole write with pics for the other side just the weather is still bad. But the projector centers and you can adjust the bowl if it is a little off. Here some pics
