Bumper guide

What's Y'alls thoughts on using a Fuji TLSG10J as a bumper guide on an IMC 847 , 15lb braid , 2oz of weight. The other guides are #16 on the 0 axis and #12 on the 180 .
The line path looks fine , I'm just concerned if it may be a bit light , but there dosen't seem to be a ton of pressure on it when static testing .
Thanks , John

Should work. Any pressure should be straight in towards the blank so I'd think it'd be okay. If not, you have to replace one guide at some point down the road.
