Re: Bump Size Changed?

The actual size of the bump was always 13 1/4". If you built your bump using the official game drawings then you shouldn't have any problems, as those end up being 13 1/4". For some reason though the manual stated that the bumps were 12" high. The update just adjusted the manual to the real height of the bump. As for if the length changed, well it didn't because the bump never changed. If you built your bump to 12" high though, its possible. We're locked out of the shop today but I'll be happy to measure our bump for you if you'd like (which is the right height).

Check out the official drawing below. A 12 7/16" "rib"(i.e. support) with a 3/4" piece of ply lying flat on top of that to complete the top of the bump adds up to just under 13 1/4" (13 3/16 inches is the accurate height if you want to get specific). The manual was just wrong for a while.

EDIT: yeah, what Greg said.
