Yeah sorry if I came off as a Di$#.. I JUST WANNA SEE YALL GET ER DONE AND GO WHEELING. On a side note we probably have a different situation here. My situation wasn't too hard to deal with. I bought the Chilkat mounts last december. They were off for the record and it shows by how much in my build thread. With the beating and leaving things loose and pry bar action I got er done.. i didnt think it was too big of a deal..but that's all it took for my situation. We probably are dealing with different angles here.  I spoke with Alex about it when I first noticed the gap on the x member mount. I'm not quoting him or speaking on behalf of chilkat, but from what I have gathered, shimming the appropriate mount is the way to go.
