I would be interested in a set of these Rings; however, I would prefer the next size up to the 28,50mm you currently supply.
The reason being is for my deck the Nuts have bottomed out on the Adjuster Thread, so I cannot lower the sub-chassis any further, fortunately, I don’t need to go any lower, but I would prefer the Nut to be positioned in the middle of the thread length rather than the bottom.
No one else has mentioned this on the forum, so I am assuming that the issue is unique to my deck. My installation has the drive belt at 90 degrees to both the motor and platter spindles, so I am satisfied there is nothing wrong with my set-up.
The problem may be due to the fact that I previously had the solid imperial Adjuster, which has been replaced with the 2 piece Adjuster which you (Michell) supplied with your Pylons kit. It might also be due to my deck being an Export model; it may have slightly different depth of holes, whatever, the problem is not unsurmountable, and should be easily resolved with slightly larger (longer) Rings.
Cheers,
Steve
