So I called DGA last thursday because that's the only way you can purchase their OEM basket rings, havent heard anything yet.
Can you link me one of these aluminum sleeves? I can't seem to find them, but if they are a totally flush way of connecting a cable to itself then that would work for me.
Better late than never
