3. Metal lips...do you epoxy them in, or does the through wire hold them in place? I have a couple metal lips built by so called "pros" that swim around in the lip slot.

1. I ground my own out of a pair of good sized needlenose, only one jaw is round. There is an advantage to that.
2. I use 3/16 from the back and 1/8 from the front
3. Tight wire and a 1/8 hole holds them, then I epoxy after they are wired and that helps too.
