Hello Dennis,
I originally said .250 inches needed to be cut, but I just measured the spacers I took off my Mcleod adjustable TB #16525 and it measured .4 inches. As I remember, the Mcleod with both spacers installed and the original TB where the same height. My memory is just a bit shakey. The Mcleod tech line originally told me about the cut. Give "Red" a call at Mcleod to verify. He gave me the measurments I used to determine how many spacers to remove.(that measurment I forgot also-damn memory!). It is the base of the carrier that gets cut but again I chose to go the adjustable route so I don't have direct experience with the actual cut technique. A lot easier to go with the adjustable but it does costs a little over $100.00
Hope all this helps!
regards... Mark Savage
