Right on thanks. I plan on doing this over the winter and didn't want a random washer floating around in my primary.

Does anyone have a new video that explains what exactly to cut while removing mid controls without taking apart the primary. Thanks in advance

Don’t cut anything. If you ever want convert back or sell, no turning back. I have a 17 FXDL, removed mids and installed full boards. I tied my shifter shaft back with a tie wrap, makes shaft flush, I put a poker chip over the spot.
