Default the new SLP lids

are they re designed so they are lower at the neck? im doing the lid conversion so i need a lid thats low, but not the stocker. i know the old SLP lids hit the hoods no matter what. im looking at the MTI clear lids too, but i just want a basic lid for now.

I had an LG lid that rubbed only after I changed to the stupid fernco, but when I went back to the stock bellow it didnt.

x2 with the stocker it shouldn't rub. I have a SLP SB that i had to mod to make it work with 80mm BBK T/B and Granatelli MAF still rubbs just a hair but nothing to cry home about.

Don't do the freakin' fernco. It will cause you problems.

no reason. Just go with a stock bellow. Easy way to **** away 50$ if you get something else.

I knew what you were doing. It will fit virtually the same. IF you can perfect it maybe it will be worth it to you. I am just telling you that if you are worried about your lid rubbing...the bellow is normally a helpful culprit.
