ITS drive Question
 

Have ITS with XR Drives. They have an 18 inch tie bar that utilize the cap as the upper support. I want to put on a billet cap from Max Machine which does not have the uper tie bar support in the cap.

Any suggestions for rigging the tie bar?

Re: ITS drive Question
 

Are you using the other Max components? If not, the ITS top cap is already better than standard Bravo top caps because it uses a steel bearing support instead of the cast aluminum support. The Max stuff does look top notch. Since their cover is billet, I'll bet they could easily machine a version for the ITS, maybe they already have one or may have on in the "worx". :D

I've been told the same thing.

I heard this too but think it might be part of the drive shower set up. I need clarification.

If you really want the Worx top and can't get a version modified for the ITS, you could get the tiebar mounted using a wing plate arrangement off of the drive mounting studs. I think Latham or others may offer something because they sometimes have to offer a higher mounting for the tiebar on cats.

Just use a lower support....

That's a good point! With a vee and staggered to boot, all you really need is to do the trim pin saddle type of tiebar. Get a couple of standard back covers for the uppers and you should be all set.
