    Is it a resonance thing? unsure....
    I know it's hard to understand ? Can't figure it out myself to be honest , but I have a set under my QL1 and they ain't coming off again Sometimes you just have to try things , at 25 squid it's a low risk .

    I'm sorry but you just can't have a thread called 'Those Crazy.....' anything and go for three pages without a photo. What do these feet look like & why are they crazy?
