[kylechargerrt]

Whatv size washers is everyone running for the helix shim. Was planning on doing mine. There was some pictures but I can't seem to find them. I know 1/16" thick. Also any pictures would be great.

when you shim it out, does it not technically give you a little more overdrive?

Are you shimming the whole helix out or shimming the points to make all 3 roller contact or both?

Shimming whole helix out to prevent coil binding.

This will affect belt deflection as well right?

I also remember seeing pics, but can't find them now.

Here are some pics Terry (NOS-PRO) sent me last year when I did the helix shims on my viper.

How much thread is left showing on the stud once the shims are in?

My plan tomorrow is to get the machinist to make shims not washers. So there's full coverage. Also make longer studs

Just use nord lock washers with standard nuts. Fit great with shims and lock better too.

Are you guys all runnin 6-1 with the shims.

 

[jonlafon1]

Running 6/1 with secondary pocket machined. Essentially the same as shimming

Local machine shop did pocket very cheap, 25 if i recall.

I like that alot more then washers.
