Thanks.
Mine are not so tapered. IMO, do not need a taper to remove, just no negatives/undercuts. You can pull a perfectly round cylinder from a mold no problem.
The going theory on mine is removed from a damaged factory and never actually mounted. Not saying yours is bad, but is odd there are so many unfinished ones about. I mean, I can see them being finished and never deployed, but odd never finished as this would only take a few minutes at the factory.
Also, interested in the history of mounting at the job site. I'd normally think there was a standardized bolt pattern such that the rail car could be pre-drilled and the eagle later mounted. Yet, there are different stud positions on good ones, and different sizes.
Was this something that was custom fit for each rail mounting?
