flip kit problem

okay, i have everything the way it should be i think, but the only problem is that the retaining plate for the flip kit that goes under the spring pack cant go on all hte way because the bolt on the shock mount point is in the way

i know exactly what you talking about. hehe. mine hit also. i took my grinder with a 4 inch cutoff wheel and cut about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch notch in the plate so the bolt would go all the way in.

i have a good pic off it but my scanner is broke

i took mine back off and put it in a vise to cut it. it was a PITA to take it back off but i couldn't get at it good enough with it on there. a dremel with a cut off wheel might work but it would take more time b/c its pretty hard steel
