Pin-in ring finger drilling
« on: May 15, 2007, 10:49:17 AM »
Just curious, if it's a big no-no for high trackers.
My PAP: 5 7/8" over 1 3/4" up
Any advice would be appreciated...

my pap is 5 3/4" x 1" up, high track and just punched
holes in an impulse zone.  Pin in ring finger 4 1/2" from
PAP, MB 60 degrees and a hole 1 1/2" down from pap.  track
is fine, looks like same track as my red zone with pin
above ring finger.

Should be safe.  May need a X-hole to push the bowtie up, but you may not have to.

My PAP is about 5 1/2" over and 1" up and I really like this layout on my X-Zone Hi-Diff...  I don't start rolling over holes until the pin is pushed past my bridge usually.  

I also have pins below my fingers that don't cause any trouble either.  One of which doesn't even have an X-hole in the positive thumb quadrant.

Safe. Even pin under ring is only an issue if you have a ball with a large differential, drill ist strong and/or have lots of revs. Only then you should have a problem with the track crossing your finger holes in the back end. Pin-in-ring is even less "dangerous".
