i have powell thin ribs and im putting them on a pro. on the pro there is the sides that are further down since there is no grind plate thing there. the grind rails dont fit in the little gaps on the sides so should i cut them down some or put them over or under the total side things that stick up. thanks and hopefully u have some idea what im talking about

pictures would help, but ive seen plenty of people use them, they go right on the bottom part of the deck not that side parts.

rails are a bitch on pro models because the steel plate in the front is like impossible to drill through so you have to move them back and bit a drill them on that thin little flat space on the dropout

I THINK this is how people do it. crappy drawing sorry. grey is the grind plate things on pros, red is grind rails. hope this helps.

my rails are too wide to fit in the little inserts on the sides so should i put them under or over the outside edges that stick out.?
 
idk see if you can maybe find something that will raise them up a lil so you can drill through the "grind plate". sticking out the sides might look ugly.
 
Put the rails over the outside.Yup , I can talk in your language. outside edges is the language.

Put the rails over the outside edges.

i would do it. i haven't done it, but i think the concept is cooler and makes you deck last ages longer, and easier grinding on wood and cement.
