I just picked up a camoplast track it has 3/4 lugs and I added studs, track was pre drilled for a 96 patern the studs are about 1/4 higher than the lugs, will there be clearance isues with the rad? will I need to increase the thickness on the tunnel protectors? i have a 95 mxz 440lc
Thanks for your help.

Measure the thickness of the tunnel protectors. If they are the stock one I would replace them. Tunnel protectors are cheap compared to heat exchangers.

looked under the sled and the protectors are still about 1/2 inch lower than the rad, I`ll get a better look when the track is off thanks for the help.

get the 1" protectors they are needed if you are running studs that stick up 1/4" from the track
