Sonnenschein Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 If it is AM, they are way to big. Get them from John Danter instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 so, does anyone know how to trim it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'd say your best bet is to find someone with accurately-sized handplates and use those as a trimming guide. Otherwise, you could refer to photos here - ideally screen-caps - to get an idea of how big the handplates should be relative to the size of your hand, and go from there. Before you do any trimming, trace a cut outline with a pencil first. That way you ensure you're happy with the potential results first.
