I've had the same problem with the pony tamers, but I like them because the pony is held nearly flush to whatever the pony is mounted to. Most of the SS designs I've seen hold the pony like 1/2 an inch away from whatever it's attached to. How flush does this NY guy's system hold the pony? If it's better than 1/2 inch, how much does the gismo cost, and from whom do I order it from? Thanks, Rich It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
