Lowers install question
I got the lowers for the SG and put them on last night. They look great. The only question is how tight do I put the screws on the caps? Do I just tighten them until they are snug? That is what I did. I was afraid of snapping something is I went too tight. The directions had no guidance.
Thanks

RE: Lowers install question
if you are concerned about how 'tight' to make 'em. I would recommend you put in a lock-washer to help hold it. I haven't taken off my lowers so I'm not entirely sure how 'tight' those cap screws are.

I have had mine off and on a couple of times. I feel that a little tighter then snug it more then you will need. I have had no problems with mine and they have been on an off twice...

Be careful not to overtighten...
I used the 'snug - then another 1/4 turn'.
My Pops had one of the 'set' bolts come free on a set he had & (while it is still useable) it's a pain in the butt.

He's talking about the little black screws on the front that hold the fiberglass covers, that cover the u-bolts.
Snug works good, I've had mine off at least a half a dozen times.
