Re: [ST] Question about installing Skyking frame sliders

[Colt45 <colt4530@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought a piece of longer hose and made it bow out farther to the left 
so there was no contact between the hose and the slider aluminum.  I 
sent John pictures and told him about the interference on the new motor 
about a year ago.  I'm surprised it is still a problem.  Are you sure 
the bolt and sleeve aren't short enough to install the slider behind the 
hose without contact?
