Twilite Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Just got my Echo 4 Bolt booster from Tarty, gone to fit it, and my (Woodman) frame is too wide :P It's about 1mm too wide, I can get the bolt in but only cross threaded. Wondering if anyone knows which boosters are wider than this, I presume there are some, the Woodman isn't the widest frame in the world (That's why I didn't bother to check before I ordered). Preferably ones that still exist/can be purchased. Still hear talk of Threshold boosters, and I'm still yet to actually see one. Cheers, Leigh EDIT: RB Designs booster is 1mm wider, think that'll be enough to go from squeezing a cross thread to fitting?

Heatsink Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Can't you drill it out wider for the extra 1mm? Or rather, filing it out will be easier since the drill will slip/bendif you try and nibble the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilite Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 There's an idea. I've got about 8mm of spare metal, could be doable.

Twilite Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I hijacked my own thread :"> Oh well, filing it out looks like it'll work, so this can be locked/deleted if necessary. Thansk for the tip. I was thinking bend, heat up, everything except file! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Filing will be no problem, although you can send it back should you wish :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would have made sense if I'd checked before I ordered! The only one bigger I could see was the RB Designs, but at 101mm, I still think that might need a bit of a filing. Will give it a go tomorrow, what's the worse that can happen ;)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
