has anyone got fg diff risers fitted and are you using fg alloy mounts or plastic mounts also can you please post some pics as i cant seem to get the alignment right also the brace on the back seems to be too elevated any help is appreciated thanks

I have the FG riser on my FG 8485 LS Diff on my Firehammer. I also have an FG alloy small engine mount and a stock clone plastic large engine mount. No clearence problems.

Is the riser running into the bottom of the large engine mount?

no i just cant seem to get the alignment right the plastic axel mounts might have to be filed also kc reakons somtimes the chassis enginge mount holes have to filed to allow a little extra movement rather than do this i think ill purchase a set of elcons mounts

Remember when you raise your diff 6-10 mm, you have to put the same spacing inbetween your rear brace and the large motor mount too.............. some people add the spacing to their Motor mounts insted and raise the entire motor

mill a groove out of the chassi

I use three flat washers between the large engine mount and the bottom of the raised brace.

That was recommended here previously by Molzer Mowery and it works well.

yes cheers guys ill use the washer trick for the brace - if i do that it will keep the alignment right aswell

If you're putting the diff risers on a marder then you'll need the Leopard Large engine mount.

ill probably just end up getting elcon mounts with built in risers

the elcon diff blocks give an extra 6 or 7mm in height,just enough to raise a slip diff without the need for diff risers

yep I use those diff supports too for my new build[sm=thumbup.gif]
