Spyder Nitro Problems

[NBR]

The only problem he's got if he gets a drop forward... is trying to find a drop that fits his marker ... the screws on a spider are side by side not one behind the other... and most drops are one behind the other....

Right/wrong ( delete where applicable )

Yup, the holes are staggered.

spyder holes!

There are some shops that do adaptor plates to convert the spyders to a standard fixture, so you can fit any dropforward. If your in the USA you can find them here http://www.actionvillage.com/011-4020-506.html
If not get a block of ally from somewhere and if you have a drill make your own.
Hope that helps

depends on the kinda dropforward you already have.

on most you can detatch the actual donkey (the bit the bottle screws) into from the drop forward.
if you can, try screwing it into place then putting the donkey back on the drop forward. you may find that you can screw the bottle on in such a way that the dial is facing out to the side, or down away from the drop forward, and therefore the donkey will fit back on the dropforward without obstruction
It does mean that you cant take the bottle off for storage without repeating the process, but it is the cheapest option.

beyond that, new smaller dials, or a deaper drop forward.
