The deck guards came in last week. I finally got around to installing them today. According to the directions/measurements the deck guards extend slightly lower than the nexite deck (probably 1/16 or 1/32"). I did the best I could to keep from getting a gap between the deck. Here are a couple pics.

Hi stygz

Those guard look very good and i don't think that little bit of hand down will hurt, should help protect the deck on the bottom from breakage to. :licking::licking::licking:

They look too low to me. I think the center of the hole is supposed to be 5/8" up from the bottom. Yours looks more like 3/8".

I used a tape measure not a caliper. It may be easier to mark the 5/8" with a caliper. Both sides came out the exact same.

You can tell the difference between 5/8" and 3/8" from that photo?

Your photo didn't tell me the difference between 3/8" and 5/8".
How I came up with 3/8" is because I just installed a set and they are 3/16" above the bottom of the deck. Add my 3/16" above to your 1/16" below and you have a 1/4" difference. 1/4" from 5/8" equals 3/8".
So that is how I assumed that you drilled the hole closer to 3/8" above the deck bottom and not 5/8".

So glad I found this post as I have been looking for a picture of what these look like installed.

So now that they have been on for a while, what do you think?
