[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16424322, member: 9628"] I just watched your video, they are always informative. I have not had any issues with BMR, I have been over to their site in Tampa (<<original location, now I think they have moved closer to Plant City) a couple of times a few years ago when I was dealing with this upgrade, sat in their office, talked to Kelly, they seemed like good old car enthusiasts just like us........meaning, to them it is a passion, not just a job. Sorry to hear about your BMR experience, I do remember that video from before and could not believe the Whiteline sub-standard quality on that original arm. As I mention above in my comparo, for me, I did not need to install the longer/more robust 2011-2014 BMR arm and mount in my car, but since all of the things Ford/SVT addressed in the oem arm were included in the BMR arm, I decided to take advantage of Ford/SVT's R&D that was also incorporated into the 2011-2014 BMR arm and it has worked fine for me. Another question related to that 2007-2010 BMR smaller diameter boss vs. the sheet metal hole in the floor................With that mount securely fastened with two bolts at the back and virtually no slop in those two bracket holes and the underseat bolt pulling/holding the front part of the bracket against the floor sheet metal under the car, how is that smaller boss going to move in that larger hole? It would seem that the movement would be fore and aft. Unless something goes terribly wrong at the rear two bolt mount attachment or something loosens under the rear seat, I can't see that front boss moving forward or back or side to side in that hole? The only other possibility would be deformation of the sheet metal under the rear seat, but that would affect the larger boss also and cause a loose condition at the front attachment point. <<Just asking because I thought about this wayyyy back when you first posted the video and your findings.
