    52" Untrex and 2002 TR21 with wedge

    Has anyone mounted a Ultrex 52" on a 2002 TR21 (or 1999 to 2003) using an Ashmore 2.5 Degree wedge?
    Any issues?

    I didn't use the Ashmore wedge, but I have an 05 Tr-21X with a 52 inch Ultrex with a homemade "wedge". Although, it's not the exact answer to your question, I've had no "issues" with mine...

    Thanks drgrammer. I had looked at your post but my 2002 has a front console shroud that is in the way. A 45" Fortrex just fits up against the shroud so I need something that raises the rear end of the mounting plate above the shroud. I think I will exchange my 52" for a 45" and save all the hassle. The I can use your wedge idea. Thanks

    I don’t have any pictures, but on my 98 I just made the back end of my custom wedge 3/4” tall and ran it to that shroud. The 52” mount hangs over my wedge just a little but it worked. Pm me your number and I’ll send pics when I can if you want.

    I have a Ghost and used the Ashmore wedge. It works great.
