Hello peeps, reading through sticky's manual, I realized that he reccomends machining for the mag flanges if they aren't for our exact casing. My question is, if I am dumb enough to not nottice when a reputable shop sells a 150 mag or a 200, how can I tell if they tell me "it serves both Series 2,3 and series 1 models with some modifications" May I have a clue as what to check?

i think the flange intudes into the transfers if my memery is correct.

i recall having to dremel a bit back so it flowed properly. i think all i did was fit the two tegether and it was obvious :?

yea nick is right:
the 200 opening is bigger than the 150 so the transfer port is closer to the flywheel by a few mm when you put the mag flange on its easy to se if its not right as it wont look flowed , the same goes for if you match the casing to the port on a barrel this bit needs doing as well , if its not done the barrel spiggot can hit the tranfer port cut out on the mag flange as its still raised a mm or so higher than the rest of the cut out this can cause an air leak or the gasket to not seal and in extrem cases a crack in the barrel spigot esp on ally 225 cylinders ,i dont think its so much of a problem on indian cases as there reported to be 1mm higher on deck height :| if you look were the end of the pen is it start to rise up this is a 150 mag flange and a 200 cylinder is wider on the spigot than a 150 so might hit as it gets higher

Many thanks to both. I will try my best to match it. I will try matching the casing as well to my 190 cylinder as well :D
