Basherqueen CF Towers

[jschlosser0405]

I recently purchased a CF kit for my V4 Noto. I am trying to install the shock towers and ran into a bit of a snag with the shock standoffs. The mounting holes in the towers are 4mm, the studs on the regular and EXB stand offs are 3mm. Do I just center it in the hole and tighten down leaving the slop or is there a bushing I should be using? TIA

Use small sleeves of heat shrink to increase the bored diameter to 4mm.... I wouldn't leave the slop if at all possible..

Definitely don't just tighten it down. I'd be using the 4mm standoffs from M2C instead

Use 4mm standoffs.

Shoot, I've got an order of a bunch of M2C stuff on the way already. I wasn't anticipating this issue. I haven't ever broken/bent an EXB standoff (yet) so I didn't think to order M2C ones. I will look around and see if I can make something work. If I can't get it tight enough to make me happy then I will order some. Thanks guys.
Problem solved. Time will tell. I used the little brass inserts from a servo mounting kit. Not perfect but much better. If I end up breaking one, M2C it will be.
