    You might have to bend the bracket for the steering wheel as well which is what I have to do to because mine rubs ever so slightly.

    I installed the cravenspeed flexpod right out of the box on my 15. No rubbing anywhere.

    Ditto.

    Someone on here recently had a gauge (forget what brand that was really large and stuck out of the flexpod and had to extend their steering column out though.

    I finally got my gauges and lotek pillar. I have the arm uego series. I seems like the bezel is to large of a diameter for it to sit flush. And one gauge bottoms out before flush.
    Anybody have the same issue? Or a remedy? I does not look thick enough to demel it.

    Finally got my NST pulley set this morning. I also have a Derale e-fan kit. All in the quest for less load on the accessory side of the engine.
    Side note: the dog has been annoying me all morning, so I decided to return the favor by taking her picture. She hate pictures. :D

    I added some washers to my flexpod between the bracket and the gauges and that solved the rubbing issue I was having on the AEM gauge bezels

    That was me with the analog boost gauge from Autometer

    Here was my post - Definitely cut the bolts shorter than I should have - As was was pointed out later, I wasn't thinking about extending the steering column for clearance. All in all I am changing over to a pillar mount:

    i was not in a group buy. must have missed that one. unless you mean the super charger pulley buy, then me too.
    i thought about calling them up and seeing if they still have the file to "custom" make me one.
    where did you put the washers? i feel like they would need to be between the bezel and pillar on the front side. i will try and post pictures today.

    Yeah I was referring to the sc crank pulley GB. If you find out they can I am definitely gonna try to place an order for one

    Here's where I put the washers. Be careful when trying to get the bolts going again, they almost aren't long enough

    @BassAckwards I'm using a lotek pillar mount, not the one on the column.

    Using Lotek and speedhut here as well.

    Also need some advice. Only been a few months but noticed this today. Aside from a bad cut job on the belt any thoughts? Possibility the alignment is ever so off?

    I’ve heard a few folks say that. I did buy a spare just need to trim it. do I need to remove the fan to swap seems easier but if I can do without then less armor to remove.

    I don’t remember having to remove the fan but I remember it being pretty easy
