For the RRC, we're giving awards made from 914 parts. One of the classes is the 'Frank Sinatra' award given for 'doing it my way'. This award may or may not be a compliment to the recipient. It will be given for either creative solutions or questionable engineering.
What is it? It's a home-made five-bolt conversion rotor made from its four-bolt counter part that has been 'custom' vented:

I've a special secret children ought to know;
It's about the little mistakes you make as you begin to grow.
If you make a mistake, you shouldn't start to cry.
Mistakes are not so bad, and here is why:
Oh everyone makes mistakes.
Oh, yes they do
Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;
Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!
Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?
If you make a mistake while counting to ten,
Well don't get mad and don't be sad;
Just start to count again.
And if you should only get to eight or nine,
I'm still your friend and I still like you fine,
'Cause everyone makes mistakes.
Oh, yes they do
Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;
Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!
Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?
If you spill a glass of milk all over the floor,
Well, your mom and dad still like you just as much as they did before,
'Cause when Mother and Dad were just as small as you,
I'll bet that they knocked their milk over too.
'Cause everyone makes mistakes.
Oh, yes they do
Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;
Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!
Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?
If everyone in the whole wide world makes mistakes,
Then why can't you?

If it's the "Frank Sinatra" award, are you gonna put it on a microphone stand?
I like this approach for awards instead of the classic trophy or lucite obelisk on oakwood base. I also like the category too. It's cool to have real awards for best of show and all but really now, aren't we the kind of people that can appreciate a 1/2" ratchet with the lever permanently welded in the TIGHTEN position.
This guy I know flew P-47s in WWII, and they used to award captured Iron Crosses to squad mates who, 'pranged their own kites'.

I hope you have done it in first place only for temporary use. It looks scary. Venting that "conversion rotor" seems to be the only good use for it

If the winner attempts to use it, I hope to take pictures..
