What tool did yall use to grind down ridges on Ult TBI?

I purchased my dremel today and it came with a whole bunch of parts, but I don't think it gave me what I need to grind down those ridges. Does anybody have a picture of the attachments they used to do the ultimate TBI?

I grinded one piece until it broke off.

Thanks guys.

the best tool I found was part #409 cut off wheel I used that to actually cut off the ridges, and then the stone to smooth it out and radius, then the wire wheel/buffer to smooth it all out.

The reinforced cut off wheels are even better, but they are a bit more spendy.

I suggest the dremel kit #687 came with everything I needed and a bit extra, 12.99 cheaper than all the tips seperately bi-mart had em instock )

Good luck I loved the way the mod helped out not a lot, but noticable.

Yup that's what I was using. I've gone through 2 of them already and I don't even have one whole ridge off yet.

I think I need to go buy more of them.

I used a BridgePort milling machine and a 1" endmill , then some 1/2" cartridge rolls on an air grinder.

Here is the bit that I used to put the actual radius into the lip of the TBI. I used a cutting disk to cut the ridge off and then went around with the bit I just described.

A hacksaw works well for starters to get the bulk of the ridge off.

I've got you beat. 1" endmill AND a fly cutter.
