BB RI and KT 66's, yes you can fit them

Someone asked me a while ago about whether the KT66's fit in the reissue Bluesbreaker cabinet. Well I recently finished up my ptp kit from George and it is indeed a tight fit. I found that the KT66's (I've got the GT ones) were long enough that they just touched far side of the cabinet when the chassis was in. I just used a couple of washers on the bottom side (between the cab and the board the the chassis mounts to) to give it about 1/4" clearance. Seems to work OK. The JJ 6L6's I had in there previously had only 1/2" clearance, so I don't think it's that big a deal to have that little.
I think some of the newer Bluesbreaker cabs are made a little deeper (10 inches?) so this souldn't likely be a problem (mines about 9 inches).
It sounds great with the KT66's by the way! I've ahd both my strat and my Rick 330/12 through it. Need to get my buddy to bring his Les Paul and his P90 equipped SG Junior over to try out.
