    Ridiculous and juvenile. Whose 6-year-old son made that decision?

    DL Fitch linked me up to more specific screws. If you ordered a GINI cage and it didn't come with the 4 small top screws (or you need replacements)

    I ordered the 'button head' style and they work perfect. Hey, a part for my RED that costs 20 cents! BOOYAH!

    I ordered a simple hand held rig from them with a follow focus. It will arrive this Friday. After reading this post it was worth a try. I'll report back when I get it

    My friend has one on his epic, it's nice. Not a fan of the gap in the back where the exhaust is. But the ribs are the nicest part of the cage. But I would still go with WC or RED for a cage.

    Jon - if I understand what you are saying, have him try turning the plate 180 degrees around the other way - I think he has it on backwards. I had the same issue but when I turned it around it fits perfectly.

    Just so you guys know if you're on the fence of buying a cage from him, he's since upgraded his cage with NATO profiling on the ribs, and he's opted for flatter sides for 1/4 20" mounting holes. All around a better, sturdier and more functional design.

    Makes me regret being a 1st generation owner with any of Gini's stuff.

    Any suggestions as to where we can find the new ribs? Can't tell from the Gini site.

    Check eBay, all of his cage listings are updated with the new cage.
