Here we go again! I received my 2 new F-605C bars from Van's after 6 long days of waiting. This time I cut off the outboard of the bars, using the 2 inch measurement to the first bend of the bar as a reference point. Then I redrilled all of the holes, including the F-705H spacer.
|
Here's a shot of the F-705H spacer The hole that gets drilled in this spacer is not centered in the spacer, but off to one side.
|
Here are the spacers after drilling The beveled edge allows the spacer to conform to the bend in the F-705C bar.
|
Time to trim the F-705C bars I waited to trim these guys after they were fitted and drilled to the F-705B main bar. That way I know that everything is lined up just right. I stuck a cleco in one end and marked a sharpie line around it for the cut.
|
Done! There's definitely a difference in the weight of these guys now.
