[QUOTE="SVT_Troy, post: 15648804, member: 124907"] Well just found out photobucket now sucks... guess I have to find a new site to use.... this sucks While I was working on the rear I decided to try viking Da shocks. No big deal on the install so no pics. Just make sure to lube the bushing up with a good non water soluble lube. I used product called "Green Grease." google it! [ATTACH=full]1454689[/ATTACH] I also decided to do a trunk mounted battery setup. While running wire I discovered that my Mechman alternator mount had cracked and twisted. This explained my recent belt damage... [ATTACH=full]1454690[/ATTACH] Mechman is standup in my book. They have since replaced the old case with a solid billet piece which looks amazing. They also updated the internal components according to the tech I talked to. They charged me $125 for recasing new updated internals. They also sent me a 3 wire plug (replacing the factory 2 wire). the third wire is to be connected to a 12v switched source if you are experiencing a battery light. So far I have not so i did not install it. Basically i paid $125 for a new alternator. [ATTACH=full]1454691[/ATTACH] Here is my best time last year. I really need some seat time.... [ATTACH=full]1454692[/ATTACH] I didn't take a pic of the steps on building the bracket but basically I built a bracket to set up the battery cutoff lever to go through the trunk key hole. In order to setup the angle correctly the bracket needed to be taller. I also built a plate to add support to the roof of the trunk. [ATTACH=full]1454693[/ATTACH] In my opinion after I painted the new bracket and plate you can barely see it besides the ugly bolts i used. [ATTACH=full]1454694[/ATTACH] I used a Taylor battery box and used a BLUE SEA 7149 200 AMP circuit breaker. I first picked on of the cheaper brands but after receiving it i knew i couldn't use it.
