Here are some issues I've had with the Phantasm system. My 82 aluminium mast fits the new fuse no problem but not the 92 carbon mast. I had to file the front part that fits into the fuse some to get it to work -- not a big deal but you want to make sure everything fits before you go to the beach or you will potentially be frustrated if you have issues. I also have the adaptor that fits into the slot in the new fuse so you can attach it to the old infinity mast. Well, the holes in my adaptor don't line up with the holes in the fuse. I flipped the adaptor around and put it back into the fuse. -- no go! The holes don't line up either way so unless I'm totally out to lunch, which is a possibility, this adaptor is useless to me. I may be wrong but I suspect whoever makes these adaptors for Slingshot screwed up and Slingshot has had them make the correction, however, Slingshot, rather than pulling this product, just sent out the originals to unsuspecting retailers and their customers. I hope I'm wrong but it's possible.
Ok. I now know how the adaptor works. It is bolted to the mast first and then inserted into the fuselage and bolts on like it does with the Phantasm mast. I wish Slingshot had put a simple diagram in with the adaptor showing (1) the adaptor bolted onto the mast and (2) the adaptor/mast then bolted onto the fuselage. It would have saved a dumbass like me some time and frustration.
Will ghost whisperer mast fit?
