At least its not as bad as it could have been. Looks to be an easy fix over all but still sucks non the less. At least it is at the time to put it up for the year anyway and you can still work on it in your garage so hopefully by the time spring rolls around you will be good to go.
Upgraded studs arrived.... quite abit more meat to these than the originals. The radius up top is way larger at about 3/16 compared to 1/16 .... as well as a beefier radius on the underside where it bolts down the guide plate.
Lenght is 3/16 longer to boot.
If purchasing an older pair of AFR's I would def check the studs and replace with the upgrades...I checked my valves and have a nice centered .050 - .060 wear line so I'm thinking my geometry/PR lenght is good and this was actually luck on my behalf to be at idle and snap....
