Re: Dovetail bar for FTX V2 CLASSIC

Alan,

OK, I figured out your issue. You have the short version of the 5 clamping screws. Charles had them available in two different lengths. I vaguely recalled when I ordered by FTX V2, I specified the longer screws.

The shorter screws do work with the Half Hitch's Nova plate.? ?The longer screws work with the ADM HH dovetail bars and Half Hitch's Nova plate.?

Attached is a photo of the ADM dual HH in the saddle of my FTX V2 with the long screws, and they do reach.

I think it would be easier for you to find longer replacement of your 5 clamping screws.?

Ron

? Hi Ron…It is confusing I agree. I think Charles may have altered the saddle on the FTX V2. He increased the no. retaining screws fro 3 to 5 and increased the width of the dovetail bar to just over 2”. The Adm dovetail is 1 3/4” and is to narrow for the screws to reach even when they are screwed down to their max length. Looks like I might have to have a bar custom made.?
