I made a luber with a few changes, I did not have any 1" stock, but had 7/8" alu. rod. I made the body out of it, the side walls are too thin for a set screw, so I took a lee lock ring and removed the o-ring, screwed it on the bottom of the sizer die, placed the luber body over the end of the sizer die, into the recess where the o-ring was, put some epoxy putty around the lock ring and the luber body. I screwed the sizer die down in the press so there were several threads exposed, lightly screwed the luber-lock ring on it. it works good. for felt, the only thing I could find was a dremel felt polishing wheel, it is 1/4" thick. I punched a hole in the center, just a tiny bit smaller than my boolit- .453 . I trimed the wheel with scissors I did not use any washers, the felt is stiff. shot some thinned alox on it, it soaked in very well.I sized a 100 boolits only had to relube the felt once, did that through the holes in the side.:drinks:
