I won't be needing to use it with my setup. My converter was made by Circle D to fit without it.

Is that the spacer that comes with the TCI plate?

Is your new converter 6 on 11 1/2" (to bolt up to that plate), just with a longer snout?

I'm guessing there is a longer snout under the green cover.


Mine bolted up nicely with the spacer.
