    Default Something I noticed with Stims and R2s...

    The outer edge of Stims seem to fit into the "lip" on the bottom side of the R2 hanger, which seems to be the main contact point for the stims. Im not sure if the inner area of the stim touches the hanger, but if it didnt that would explain why my stims seem to carve so deep on my R2s.

    MHM, lately you mentioned how its important to get the correct height on your bottom bushing so it matches the stock bushing height....do I need to use washers on my R2s with stims?

    So now im looking for 50 degree baseplates that fit with R2 hangers.

    Anyone know where I could get some?

    Single thick washer is fine with Stim and Randal 180/150 hanger. If you flip the hangers, run two washers.

    You have R2 hangers, but not the baseplates they came on?

    I have the baseplates, but I want new ones since the holes are all mis-drilled.
