Hopefully anyway - I have about 1/2 inch of threads left to work with.
Is yours the version with or without the cutout? I was leaning toward watershed figuring NSX without cutout might be stiffer and less prone to,stretch than watershed with cutout. Having to adjust tension as often as you have would bug me. But I really rather not get copper rivets, which granted is totally cosmetic but I just prefer the look of the gunmetal rivets.
