Sounds great.

What is the profit margin on this thing? Hey, I am in the wrong business.

Best of luck with it and thanks for sharing.

Hmmm, install pix on this anyone?

Carl AMG, did you have to move the battery any?

Brucelee · 03-05-2006, 11:03 AM

Slick! Too bad you can't see it all the time!

No need to move the battery at all. It slips in nicely beyond the backside of the battery.

Hi,

Sometimes the Battery must be moved slightly, it just depends on how the Mechanic installed it. There's about 1" of available play toward/away from the Firewall. Just loosen the Battery Hold-down Clamp (10mm?) and move the Battery forward if necessary to get the cross brace behind it...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

What is the torque setting for the 13mm strut nuts (987)??

Carl AMG · 03-06-2006, 06:40 AM

I didn't have access to the torque specs for the strut bolts and used my experienced hand torque meter to get the job done. The strut bolts are not on very tight at all. I would guess they are in the 15 ft/lb range.
