Ross McArthur Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 You could maybe file down the top of the 74kings? Here, have a flower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2wtrials Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) may be worth looking at the 2 bolt boosters like the Echo on Here ... may be a little less height to them. Tarty have put the measurements on there for you to check Edited January 20, 2009 by r2wtrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) It'd be easier to see if you took a picture of it with the holes all lined up with the mounts on the frame... So we can see your problem?I can only suggest contacting whoever you're buying the booster's off and ask them to measure from the top of the booster, to the top of the brake mounts, to see if it'd clear it?EDIT: Nice slippers.

Tarty have put the measurements on there for you to checkI had the same frame as you at one point and had the same problem. The main option is going for a 2 bolt brake booster.http://www.selectbikes.com/index.php?act=v...mp;productId=71 Edited January 20, 2009 by David Biddle™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Powell Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Think your pretty much stranded, best option will be to file the top of the booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
