Hey all
Already know which studs, backerplates and nuts going to use(woodys SS 1.325", square backerplates, and big nuts), as well as tunnel protectors but just had a few questions.
Ok, its a ripsaw, 136", and its on there fine and did good all last year, but I cant remember how much clearance there was at the front bulkhead and in the tunnel. Do you guys know if there is enough room for the tunnel protectors and studs, or do I have to drop a tooth in the sprockets and relocate the suspension slightly lower?
Also, anyone know what type of rivets I should get, besides being stainless, like size wise for the tunnel protectors. They are the aluminum type if that helps.
Just thought id post this to give me an idea of what to expect when I actually do get to see the clearances for myself.
Thanks!

If you want to stud the ripsaw in that sled you are going to be extremely tight if you don't go down to 8 tooth drivers. A few people claim you can stud them with the 9 tooth, but it is risky in my opinion. If it were mine, i would go with the 8 tooth drivers to get a little breathing room away from the heart of the system: the front heat exchanger.
