Garrett 5 X 8 Coil Cover Problem

[dmoss8928]

Hey guys the AT Pro Spring Package came in today WHOOP WHOOP... I have a quick question the coil cover on the 5x8 fits loose is this normal? It seems to have I guess you can call it slack in the middle of it and it's not fitting tight up against the coil... I put the cover on the bigger coil that came with the package and its real snug.... As one else had this problem? Thanks guys and God Bless....

Yeah.....my 5x8 is a bit loose and my 8.5 is snug as a bug in a rug.....I took the cover off my 5x8.

you mean its loose enough to move while you swinging it? mine was tight i could barely get it.on

Nope just a little play in the middle

It's supposed to fit snug, they are very tight going on. A little play or bulge in the middle is OK. There is a video of a proper installation here done by Doug at MDS:

Mine also has a little play in middle nothing to worry about. The cover fits tight other than that.

Better too loose than too tight. That way you dont have to hack saw and break it off in chunks and throw the whole mess into the crapper before you decide never to use another one ever again. No problem.

I had to break mine up to get it off, won't be using one ever again!

The cover on mine, for my AT Gold, has a little play in it, but stays on the coil just fine.

I used gorilla tape on my stock coil and it holds up pretty good so far. I use both coils on my pro so they both get a good workout. I haven't tried to get cover off 5x8 yet but if it breaks I'll put tape on it too.

My stock coil cover has a little bulge in the middle, but the 5x8 does not, never been an issue, I just hose it off good. I have had all mine off to clean, them out, several times, and have not broke any yet! It takes some time and patience though!
