mid tank build (problem)

[geronimo]

Howdy, i just finished my flm mid tank build,up to this point everything is great.
i went to redo my mesh . and theres pretty much no room to adjust it.mill is already against tvp, as far as it will go. mesh is real tight. to the point of squilling.
I'm using the stock xl motor mount. just wondering if anybody else has ran into this problem. and how you cured it.peace

you have to use button head screws on the tvp side of the engine mount.
also what spur are u using? i found that a 52 will not work even with the button heads with flm tvp's

ok cool.yea i got the stock spur gear, you got any suggestions on spur. bad??

i put button heads on my mount too and it worked good. i run a 52 tooth spur and fits but i think it fits because i am also running a 14 tooth cb

would someone list the part number for the "button head" screws? I would like to look them up and see if I already have them or something I have to order.

as a side note. I have the stock TVPs for the savage x 4.6 I am using the FLM engine plate and engine mount (broke them both and replaced with FLM.) I too have a tight mesh between a 47 sper and 17 CB. On the engine plate I still have some room to move the mount over closer to the TVP, but can't due to the screws on the mount.

will note.thanks for your input..
You know, i did a lot of research, before i bought the flm set up, and i can't remember one time reading about the spur gear issue on the XL.maybe i just flat out missed it or over looked it, who knows!!!But on the bright side, this thread may, help some one else out in the future. so its all good..peace

i don't think there is a part # for the screws but i think that the button heads would also solve your problem with the stock tvps.
