I have an at200 chasis, i just put in the 3sgte in and i test fitted the hood to see if it would clear and it wont. Any suggestions? and no, no front mount, i cant afford it yet. the hood is a VIS carbon fiber c-one replica.(with the top vent) thanks.

its a known fact that the tmic of a 3sgte wont fit under the hood of a standard at200-st204 chassie. even though you have an aftermarket hood, im sure that they didnt take the 3sgte into concideration when manufacturing the hood for the at200. so your choices are a) get a gt4 hood b) take a chainsaw to the hood or try to hammer it out c) (the best option) save for a fmic.

Hmmm thats really wierd because mine fits under the vis c-one replica. Its a tight fit but it fits, it touches the hood infact but it still closes. It is a good idea to fmic asap, cus the tmic sucks balls anyway. |
