some one told me to get a 2 inch hole saw to cut the holes for the cylinders but it seem like it would be really loose. what size of hole saw would be the best?, thanks

i like to use 2" to allow for a little cylinder play cylinders need to move a little bit because the cylinder is not mounted to a stationary object. depending on how large of rear cylinders your rolling i might even reccomend 2 1/8" for the rear

on the cylinders i have it seams like it would be to loose would it be a bad thing to do if i cut it to just a little over the size or is 2" the best way to go?

 

[Hoss805]

depends what size cylinders you using
i wouldn't go over 1/4" bigger

1 5/8" for a standard size cylinder.

remember when we cut Rich's car...we searched all over town for that size..hardly anyone carried it. Kinda weird.

so 2" or l" 5/8 any one care to explain witch size and why it would be better

 

[Howard Wolowitz]

1 5/8" will be a perfect fit, 2" will be a little loose. I think most people just say fuck it and use a 2 incher because you can get that size damn near anywhere.

you need to get a hole saw that is 1/8" larger than your cylinder. and like Hoss805 said, dont go over 1/4" larger.

FRONT HOLES YOU SHOULD HAVE TIGHT SO THEY DONT MOVE ALL OVER THE PLACE, LESS CHANCE OF BENDING THE SHAFT. REAR YOU SHOULD GO NO LARGER THEN 1/4 BIGGER THEN THE CYLINDERS

what size? due to the fact that the a arm is not stationary and moves 2 inches is good...

so now what do i do to fix it is this going to cause problems?

I did mine 1 3/4" for pro hopper street cylinders which are 1 5/8" o.d. I think the holes where somewhere around 2 1/2" by the time I redid the setup.

you can get a bigger dia. cylinder or you can buy some round tube and weld it into the frame and use it as a bushing to tighten it up or you can weld the tube to the donut and and slide it over the cylinder as normal and it will fix the problem as well.
