You can't run UMI steering with an un-modified new XMW pole?

If you look at the pics of the pole on X metals website, there are no holes for the UMI system to bolt to. Crab drilled the 4 holes for the UMI to mount in/on. I myself really want one of their poles, but I want to utilize my steering and pole bracket. I REALLY want a RRP, but that is waaay out of my budget.

NO

You just need to drill and tap the 4 holes to install any bearing style system (umi, rrp, wdk) or drill through and nut/bolt like crab did above.

why the pic of the nut bucket?

thats the color proir to spray over a black basecoat. Its a powder that mixes in with the clear basecoat prior to 2 coats of clearcoat. I will pop a pic if we ever get some sunshine....
