Default Fred Kodlin Swingarm??? HELP

Ok, I just picked up a Fred Kodlin "Halebob" swingarm for my 99 train. The swingarm is for a 200mm rear tire, the size I want, kicker is, it has no install instructions. Anybody got any ideas or suggestions? I downloaded install instructions for PM phat tail kit to compare but that was for a 240 rear. The swingarm came with a new pivot tube but no spacers so Im wondering if I can get by with the stock ones or is it just wishful thinking?
Thanks for any help.

I put the Heartland 250 kit on I used the stock pivot tube and spacers you should be able to do the same you are not changing the space where the swingarm meets the frame so that measurement should stay the same but you really won't know until it is apart and measured Good luck

Good to know thanks for the input.

Anybody have any experience with Kodlin swingarms or parts? I searched and found alot of references to Kodlin bars but no other parts.
