Did you also buy the two cheap rubber spacers that go on each side of the mount when assembling into the yoke? 986 375 255 01 I'd be concerned about the originals being worn out.

Someone who did the job also recommended getting a couple of hose support clips for when you're "moving things around" underneath. 996 106 425 02

Two DIYs: one on Pedro's site, and another on the Pelican site.
Because the Lemfoerder was new and SOOO much less expensive than every other variant, and I could find no info on it, I passed despite the tempting price.

I did not buy the rubber spacers - didn't realize I might need them. The P-car will be off the road at the time I pull the original mount, so if I find it desirous to get new ones I'll order them then....thanks for bringing this to my attention!
