The best way to install the brace is:
1. unbolt the midpipe from the down pipe.
2. Remove the aluminum stock tranny well reinforcement
3. Remove the bottom 2 PPF 21mm's and loosen up the other 2 above
4. Loosen up the two 14mm engine mount bolts as well.
5. If you have an engine tork brace unbolt it as well.
6. You may have to pry the tranny over a little etc to get it to fit. The brace will center your driveline to where it is supposed to be.
7. If it's still a little off then loosen all the bolts on the power plant frame where it is bolted to the diff.
8. Put the tranny brace in place and start the 21mm's a few threads
9. Start all 4 of the 12mm's that were holding the stock aluminum reinforcement
10. Tighten all the 12mm bolts
11 tighten the lower 2 21mm's on the brace/PPF
12. Tighten all the other bolts you loosened, DON'T forget the engine mounts
13. Bolt the midpipe back to the front pipe.
USE JACKSTANDS OR A LIFT
the holes are slightly enlarged to allow for twisted cars etc so there shouldn't be any problems with fitment.

lol.. that would be me in scruffy form..
I still have one, but I will be making a bunch more over the weekend.. I'm probably going to make about 30+ since I have about 10 people localy who want them. Just drop funds in paypal and one will be in the mail to you.. I also found a cool plastic paint in red, but they only have it in red.

I need to have some form of cash flow while I stop working and focus on getting the 20B in my car so I figured I'd make a bunch to sell... gotta pay rent and eat and I know this 20B's going to nickle and dime me to death on little **** to get it all in there..

Shave that beard.
You are starting to look like ZZ Top.

Dave, if/when you ever meet Chris in person, and you see his list of MP3's in the shop, you'll understand why the "beard" fits him...lol
