How much tension should there be on the dissipator bar hold downs, should there be just enough on the screws that there is tension on the pads?

for some reason mine pads look too sqaushed against the limbs relaxed{ the string is at 1 1/8"} thanks,speed..........

Depends on how old a bow you have .With the newer bows they have a shoulder so we just tighten to the shoulder ,for a older bow tighten one side till the recoil plate starts to rise then do the otherside till the rubber squishes out a little .Hope that answers your question .

I have mine set so that there is 23mm (0.905") between the top of the riser, and the bottom of the black clamp for the dissipator bars. I don't know if this is right or not so maybe you should wait until someone else chimes in

Measuring like you do. Mine are set to 7/8" (0.875")
