Rail Repair Kit

[smitty_j25]

I have a 14 XTX with egged out holes where the front shock mount attaches, I was wondering if anyone had used the SPI rail repair kit, they are sold by a few places including Barn of Parts. It is intended for the shorter tracks, but I was wondering if the location can still work on the 141 rails. I tried asking on the facebook page with no luck, hoping the post might not get lost over here.

I used them on my AC F1000, they worked well. Not sure why they would be considered "intended for shorter tracks".

What does the SPI rail repair kit consists of

The instructions say for use on 129/137 tracks, no mention of the 141 or longer, but I'm wondering if it just has to do with bolt holes and getting the wheels on.

The kit is a couple of machined metal blocks with a groove to match the rail, and then 2 holes drilled in it. Its supposed to bolt in place over the egged out hole and then you use a new, longer bolt to reattach everything

I would like a picture of it if possible. Can this be used anywhere on the rails

Its intended to go on the front cross shaft where the holes get egged out
