Does anyone know the actual length of a skullaz?

Im considering buying one as i dislike the length of my district now.

And is the envy street (the integrated envy with the cutout) normal size because i could be buying one of them instead.

What should i get and why?

Also best way to cut a district down and drill the hole and make the brake thing bigger so the brake works after being cut down.

i think they actually used the benj deck tooling for it, they look as short as the benj model was, dont quote me on exact measurements tho.

If you want a deck with pretty much (in fact, I think they're the same dimensions) the same dimensions as the BenJ deck get the AOSV2 Street.

Not the best way but it will work and may work for cutting the angle on the drop outs- don't know the angle.

Decks are aluminum so a wood saw will cut it no problem.

1/2 Round File will work for making the Brake thing bigger.

Drill Press would be ideal for drilling new holes so the line up correctly.

no, better take it to a place with a mill, use 35mm cutter to prolong the the brake thing.
to cut the deck itself use angle grinder for a rough cut, leave 1 mm extra, then use a mill for a neat edge
+ you don't really need to cut the angle on the dropouts, they look nicely the way they will be, juat round them with a file

You don't need a Mill and cutting AL with an abrasive cutoff wheel just makes a mess.

I've cut lots of Aluminum.

You can cut a deck at home in the geerage.

A kid at the local dod the same thing to his V2i.

Yes, a Mill would be GREAT but not everyone has access to that type of machinery and since this is pretty much a straight cut, it is not difficult to do with a regular handsaw.

I'm just trying to provide an easy method that any kid can do.
