[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 593612, member: 20098"] Evening folks. So I'm in the process of fitting a THaus 4" narrowed beam and am at the point where I need to cut and dimple my original leaves. This might sound like a stupid question, but how much do I need to remove? The obvious answer is 2" each side, however, I mocked this up by installing an arm in the beam with the leaves as per standard, this gives a 62mm gap between the end of the tube and the lip on the arm. So by sliding it in 52mm (2") I'm left with a gap of 10mm between beam and arm as per the below: [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170625/1cf96ca880ce5077b2be3e5ea5f214e9.jpg[/IMG] I figured that this gap is for fitting the beam end seal retainers and seals, however, the seal retainers are too small for the beam and are loose, which leaves me with just the seal to fill this gap (about 8mm) diameter. So, do I cut the leaves down more to fill the gap? What have others done? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
