350X 6-pack rack fitment

[camoweasel]

I just bought a PRM 6-pack rack for my 350X. I have some fitment issues that I want to know if anyone else has experienced?

1) It seems I need to get 3 shorter mounting screws (minus the exhaust bolt)
2) I had to bend that little wire tab near the toolbox because it was hitting the toolbox and not allowing it to mount flush to the bar
3) I need to add about eight washers where the exhaust mounts because previous grab bar had a bushing that helped hold the bar in place

Did anyone else experince these issues? There not major issues but enough to make you wonder why they didn't add harware to make mounting much easier for the installer?

I find issues with all the aftermarket grab bars/racks etc. They get in the way of the stock "loop" and sometimes the holes have be egged out and the almost always need different length bolts because the stock grab bar is so thin and conformed to the shape of the sub frame/bar mounts. Allot of them you also need to make a spacer for it (because it's straight and not conformed) and the toolbox mounts are just yet another variable when installing them.....

I make aluminum spacers up on the lathe but you can stack washers; Or, I tighten a couple nuts on an allen bolt and then put it in my drill. Then you run the drill while putting it against a grinding wheel, right angle grinder - whatever you have. And it works like a lathe, try it if you ever need a spacer and if a nut is a good thickness for you but you don't want the look of 7 washers stacked up behind a grab bar or aftermarket exhaust etc etc. A 1/2" chuck cordless drill works great for this "homemade lathe" so to speak.

I learned how to survive without a home machine shop with tricks like that but it sure is nice to have :D
