So what must be changed in order to run the 8dn?

Just shim the secondary. The three screws on the back side of the secondary. And that's it.

What size shim? 1mm?

I think so, the ones that are already there. Well the same size as them. Sorry I'm not sure what size they are. I do know that it will be the same size ones that should already be there, now there will be two.

I think a few people have, but not sure the outcome?

I did not need to shim mine.

How is it?

 

[RXVIPER]

I didn't need to add shims to my secondary , sitting at the right height.

 

[RXVIPER]

When I added the 1 mm shim it was to high.

 

[loudelectronics]

Sitting at the right spot about 1 mm above secondary. No belt smoking or grenading yet. I am not going back to the 8jp.

 

[RXVIPER]

I'm not putting the stock belt back on either.

Right on...

I done a good thing. I was not even going to post this when my dealer first did this back a few weeks ago or so. I'm glad I did!!
