dan Craft FRSV997-3 guide spacing

Has anyone built a Dan Craft Five Rivers Signature 997-3 and got a good set of guide spacings? I am not very good at positioning rings myself, and the detail I can get elswhere seems rather generic (ie 10' 3 piece rod) Also, would you vary the spacings between Sic and recoils, or are they the same. I am leaning towards the lightweight titanium fujis. the other question I have got is - 16mm or 12mm first stripper?

Any advice greatly received

thanks

mark

if you don't want to read up on and learn guide placement, i'd contact dan who probably had some strong input on the design of that blank.

By the way, you picked an awesome blank to work with. Mine is only slightly off an's recommendation. Won't be home for a few days or I'd tell you what mine was.
