I don’t remember the dimension called for but they need to be a whole 1″ lower than called for in the instructions. I ended up with a big modification to get them to work after I buggered up the first cutout. The warning in the instructions isn’t enough for guys like me who go too fast. Please change the dimensions when you get a chance. Oh yes, they also need to be placed 1″ aft of the specified location too.
