They should but for the height issue you could use the LCSG style to get even better height on the size 20 compared to the K size 30.
After that you can start using the MN frames if you prefer.
I've done this on some parabolic rods to keep the line off the foregrip and anglers fingers.

I was checking that one out on fuji's height chart I was thinking that exact thing
Wonderful how brilliant minds think the same In fact I ordered that and a 30 in the MN just to try But think the LC will work if the owner wants It has turbos on and he does not like them

Thanks for the input guys

Anytime Bill.
My brother didn't like the LC guide for his rod or the K so he had to buy the size 40 MN to get the height. I doubt the 30MN will be sufficient but time will tell. The LC is a 'different' looking guide but I feel it's the best fit for clearance purposes of this type of build. I guess it comes down to a form over function choice for the angler who ends up with the rod. My brothers rod ended up looking good but he did have to step down slowly I'm guide frames as well so had a lot more weight on the blank.
Let us know what you end up going with.

I was thinking of the 40 but god that is a LARGE ring And the fuji site measures to the top of the frame so a large ring will Depending on the frame bring the ring bottom of the ring to almost the same place as the guides on there
The LC gave about 1/4" more height with the 20 wide feet but I can turn it around And it fits the space Guides are going where the old guides were
The RV guides would be right on -- but not the price and ring size frame and ring material
If the guy wanted or liked a spiral wrap he would not have to worry about his line hitting his thumb
The frames on the KW cast guides look like the y would Collapse if under too much pressure ????
I may be better with the LC as a butt I'll take to the owner tomorrow

Thanks for the help guys
