That bit looks like it came off a Dalek's top antenna.

I think I'd have made that extension out of alloy or Delrin to cut the weight down --- thinking about it I have a standard LGV and MK3 TX in my piston box, I'll go weigh them.

I take it that the extension is needed to put the rear bearing section in the correct location for the HW80 cocking shoe ?
