gap between Z rail and table?

[h-hartmann-78 (Harald Hartmann)]

Somewhere in the internet i’ve read that it’s recommended to have a gap (i think it was 1/4") between the Z rail and the table.

But on the assembly page i don’t find any hint on that.

I think if you have a gap then the lowrider can move in x direction, right?

Depends on your table. If it is smooth, sure let it touch. I have it about 1/16"-1/8" from each rail. It is pretty simple to make this change if you ever decided to. I highly suggest you try it both ways and let us know what you find.

The wheels hold it in place not the Z rails.

hmm, but it seems that it doesn’t work everywhere: https://www.v1engineering.com/forum/topic/lowrider-2-sliding-sideways/
