I have noticed that many of the pros have cut the rear mounting ears off of their servo, looks like mostly to make more room for electronics mounting.

How many of us average Joes have done the same thing?

I currently have the Schumacher servo saver on both of my Mi4LPs, they are working ok, but seem very floppy, and wiggle around alot, who else is still using these servo savers? I have tried an Associated and a Kimborough, one seemed to small and did not have enough travel and the Kimborough I tried was the big one they make and did not fit without shimming the servo way up off the chassis. Any one have any suggestions for a good servo saver?

What is the preference with most of you? Driveline in option 1 or 2?
1 being the spur mounted on the "passenger" side of the chassis
2 being the spur on the "drivers" side.
Currently my cars both have option 1. I have noticed that to be able to use option 1 my pinion is way out on the end of the motor shaft even when the motor is as far as I can get it inboard. I have also noticed that the position of my pinion causes the set screw to come very close to the belt, could it cause any belt damage as they are spinning in opposite directions?
