hey there, a guy responded to my 205 want ad on pbb, and is asking which bolt pattern i need for the doubler. his words were "round" or "hour glass". which bolt pattern do i need? thanks
 
Most kits work with either pattern. It's only a concern if you already have a doubler kit that only has one or the other pattern.

alright thanks. so it doesnt matter yet, cuz im still collecting the parts.
 
figure 8 or hourglass is the old school patern... the round one is newer. Doesn't really make much difference, so long as your adapters and cases are the same. ;) Round would probably use less steel/AL in a doubler, so they might be cheaper to make... but I don't remember seeing different prices on them...

yea i was lookin all over the ord site and couldnt tell if there was a different kit for either bolt pattern, i guess id jus have to specify when i order it. does either bolt pattern have any advantage over the other? i assume not???
 
Hmmm, just checking NWF's site. I guess you'll have to specify which pattern you have.

6 bolt round:

looks to be about the same amount of material either way...
