    Hey all,

    I have an MP10es and am also getting a strong mag float and had a question on my glass thickness. The manufacturer has said my glass sides are 8mm and my bottom is 10mm.

    The MP10 info says I will not need the extra spacer on thickness of 1/4" or 3/8" (and the piranha mag also says it's rated for those 2 thickness') but will need it for thickness of 1/8" & 3/16". I'm confused on what my thickness is, haha, sorry I'm horrible at math :).

    Thanks for any help!

    8mm is 5/16 and 10 is close to 3/8"

    Cool, so then it seems like I'd be good to go without that spacer on the MP10 & with that Piranha float, K+ bud!
