I wouldn't call it a maverick type ADR. The Maverick is very tall with a VERY small radius ball and socket that gives very different motion than this split system would yield with it's larger radius mating surfaces.

I keep looking at the picture and go back and forth between believing that the facets are gone... then I look some more and I think they are just obscured in the drawing.

It will be interesting to learn more.

All the best,

Mark
