727 build-unable to adjust rear band

If the lugs on your old band are shorter, wouldn't the issue be worse with the old band?
i thought the same thing. i figured maybe i might have been sent the wrong band or something like that. i cant make out a part number right now so i might have to pull it to check. ill try to see if i can borrow a buddy's torque wrench to see if mine is not calibrated right.
