2-3 hours ... nice work George!

I fully understand the apprehension relative to cutting the wheel. In the process of developing other kits, I've been modifying other wheels. I just added paddles to a custom CL500 wheel last night and there was a bit of hesitation (primarily because it was a brand new wheel I was cutting) before plunging the knife into it .

I actually came up with an improvement to the process. I used the pocket cutting'drilling template (that I currently supply with the kit) to first make a couple of vinyl decals. These decals I stuck to the wheel where I wanted to add the pockets and then just cut around them (remember to put a brand new #11 blade in your x-acto knife), then I finished by using the supplied aluminum template as a go/no-go gauge and screw-hole drilling guide. I plan on supplying some of these decal/templates with all future kits.
