All of the studs and wide body chisels listed on our site are designed for installation on 2-ply tracks ONLY!

The graphics below are installation reference charts for our Snomaxx and Scorpion aluminum race chisels. If using re-purposed 5/16" studs for bases, their total height should be .875" - 1". Please refer to the diagrams below. For the ultimate lightweight combination, and to save time not cutting your old studs, consider our Titanium Base Studs listed in the Traction section of our on-line store. Also listed here is a sample installation pattern that has proven to work well for the wide chisels. It repeats every three rows. It is merely a suggestion as your best pattern will depend on the number and type of chisels you use and your particular track specifications.
