My KB-2.6 rubs on the hood just a tiny bit. You can see just a little paint missing just to the right of the fill plug. Insulation has been removed, so it is rubbing on the actual hood.
Anyone else have this issue?

What motor mounts are you running? You can always install k member spacers to drop it a smidge.
This may be what I need to look into. Unsure on the motor mounts, but it has a tubular K member with stock A arms. I did not realize there were spacer options. I'll need to see what (if any) spacers are there now.
Depending on the K member it could set the engine a little higher than stock.
So where would the spacers go? Between the 4 main bolts that connect the K to the main frame? Effectively spacing the K down?
There's 8 bolts, but yes.

Thanks for the link. I was just looking at LMR and they have a 1/2" set for $110, the UPR set is def more cost efficient. Even then $90 for 4 metal plates is wild.There's 8 bolts, but yes.

It would be pretty easy to make your own shims with 1/8 flat bar. You need to space the lower mounts by the firewall too.There's 8 bolts, but yes.

With a stock K-member mine cleared no problem, when I went with a UPR K-member, I had to space mine down 3/16" to clear. I made my own spacers and was able to reuse the stock hardware.My KB-2.6 rubs on the hood just a tiny bit. You can see just a little paint missing just to the right of the fill plug.
