RT1500 Exhaust Manifold and RL1100 Toolhead Washer

[A_Cardboard_Box]

Hello,

 

In my adventures with setting up the RT1500 for processing .223 on my RL1100, I've noticed the exhaust manifold does not fit with the new, raised washer between the toolhead and the toolhead bolt. The manifold sits cockeyed and the area where the cutter blade trims the cases is left open, letting chips fly everywhere.

 

Has anyone dealt with this problem yet? Dillon has a modified manifold for the 550 short trim toolhead, I wonder if that would work. I'm thinking of modding it myself, cutting out an area so the manifold can rest around the washer.

 

Would love to hear anyone's thoughts. Thanks!
