    centerfeed modification

    Hey all, I have an SS centerfeed body and I would like to put on one of those old slip-on Spyder feednecks. Can I just cut of the old top and simply slide the new one over it? Or do I need to modify anything first?

    No modification necessary. It should just slip over and bolt on.

        One of these. Classic length centerfeed.

          At most you may need to add some shims to get a nice tight fit, but should have no problems. You can also use autococker or ego feednecks

            Just tape that crap up. No need for a clamping feedneck.

              Don't listen to Ando. He cries a little tear and believes an angel gets its wings ripped off everytime someone cuts a stock feedneck.

              What feedneck are you using? The Lapco ones are nice as are the Redz. Redz ones are getting tough to find anymore though since they discontinued them a year or so ago.

                  Considering I hate cats, I might have to start buying up every one that I can find and cut them a little bit at a time.

                      I believe the old spyder feed tubes were 7/8", same as a mag, so you wouldn't necessarily need shims. I could be wrong. You'll need (or at least want) shims for an ego feedneck though.



                      How many kittens for this one?
                      (it wasn't originally a vert body)

                            that was actually a beat up old powerfeed body, but even so it was hard to cut it up...

                              Feel the hatred flow through you. Feel the power of the dark side of the force.

                              In all seriousness as long as someone keeps the basket, it should be a relatively easy process to return cut feenecks to stock length.
