I really like the splits. I may even try larger ones I found but I'll stay with split turrets.

I much prefer the metro split turrets, they are ever so slightly skinnier than a couple of bags of NOS RS components ones I picked up.

Why don't you use the metro split turrets?

problem solved ...i ended finally by stacking split turrets in this board , but if i didn't wanted to use them it is because they are very fragile when you stack them with a hammer and keystone tools , each bord i break 8 to 10 of them :?
