Taking the last photo first, that looks like a hexagonal (so it won't rotate) rivnut that was put into the steel with too much force on a misadjusted air tool. I have used the air tool to fit them before and you have to be careful with a different adjustment for thickness of metal and size of rivnut. The Evo

ACS waiting times

I wrote more in the User Experience thread, but DO download the updated user manual from acs-espresso.it before unpacking. It will spare you a lot of guesswork

Shot inconsistencies with SSP Cast LS

I had the pleasure of fixing the aforementioned DF64 that was aligned at chirp, but not at all aligned elsewhere. The process to evaluate the adjustment collar was to remove the upper carrier and the bolt that holds the lower carrier. I then mounted a test indicator stud in place of the bolt (i have a few M8
