Flm servo plate on stock x chassis? HELP!

[nw10er]

Do you guys have any pics? havin a issue with clearance .. wants to hit the tranny post links or pictures below .. thank you guys

I wonder why it's hitting? I know the FLM TVPs are the same length and everything as stock TVPs from the trans forward and it's designed to fit FLM TVPs. On a side question, does one of the cross braces for the plate attach to and secure the top side of the steering servo saver?

 

[nw10er]

Yea man its there right to I believe my man its only hitting like a eighth of a inch just don't wanna hack on it if I don't have to

 

[xtremsavage]

Did you try spinning the plate 180*? I checked out FLM's website and looked at the pic of the servo plate and it looks like one side is longer than the other in relation to the mounting holes on the plate. Just a thought.

 

[xtremsavage]

And does the one brace mount to the top of the steering servo saver?

 

[nw10er]

the one brace on the plate is not threaded on the one end (two of the pre drilled holes) .. i am using that end. I have the side with the no threaded holes .. and are using them for my servo saver

 

[nw10er]

took it back off and tries the 180 spin .. made it worse. the plate seems to me can only go one way cause of the larger predrilled (no threaded) holes on the front side



Do you get raise it up a little on the stock chassis .. if so how to you compensate for the servo saver mounts ?

 

[xtremsavage]

Not quite sure. Hopefully someone who has done this mid-tank before will chime in.

 

[nw10er]

I got it man just timmed it a little .. now steering servo install .. any thing i should know about ?

 

[xtremsavage]

Not sure. Never did an FLM build before. Kinda just started on one for my buddy's truck. Gonna see if I can make the IRC mid-tank kit work.

 

[xtremsavage]

I just checked the FLM site and it says it will work with stock TVPs with modification but design as a direct fit with FLM TVPs.

I seen that my man .. said screw it bought some flm tvp also .. taking forever for my irc to show

Cool. When did you order them? I believe it took like 3-4 weeks, maybe 5 to get mine, and I live on the east coast. So, it may be longer to get yours.

 

[nw10er]

its been a month i believe emailed rob last night asking him

 

[xtremsavage]

When I ordered mine, I ordered them on oct 2 and they didn't ship til oct 10. Then I got them mid nov. That was just for the TVPs. I ordered everything else separate one at a time, mainly cuz I was waiting for the black ano'd mid-tank kit to come back from gettin anodized. Rob doesn't do the anodizing in house, he has them sent out to be done. Then, when I received my mid-tank kit, the tank posts and batt box bracket were silver and not black. He then sent the black ano'd ones and let me keep the silver ones too.
