IMPORTANT FIT NOTES:
-
Torque Spec: The recommended torque range for the bar nuts is 20–25 ft-lbs. This ensures the bar is clamped properly. Improper installation can cause damage to your cover.

No Retrofitting: Clutch covers cannot be retrofitted from standard bar nuts to captive, and vice versa. They are uniquely manufactured.

404 Chain Usage: If you plan to run a .404 chain, you may need to shave 0.015 inches off the chain slider to allow for the additional width.
INSTALLATION TIP: Felling dog bolts need to be installed from the inside of the cover, facing out so that the nut is on the outside of the felling dog. After this, put the cover flat on a table and make sure that you pound the chain sliders down until it stops against the cover – as far as it will go. The clearances are super tight so we get maximum wear out of our chain sliders. Once they are down tight, your chain will spin freely.
