With the Victa Tornado cutter head on the Honda snipper ,you need to use 4 washers as a spacer ,if anyone is going to do this ,I had to drill the washers and grind down the outside of one that fits into the alloy recess.
I also picked up a container of new bolts ,washers etc so I didn't need to buy any.
I can buy a new red cover for $10. or buy another Honda snipper for $50.
