[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 15909731, member: 138028"] The axle brace is finally sorted out with the right side plate issue to the bolt brace area. A little dremel did the trick but currently instead of the supplied alum spacers between the brace and the cover plate (they are too thick) we had to put washers in there for now to take up the clearance. Supplied spacers are 5/16" thick the clearance there is only 3/16" thick. GM Freak did install one spacer last week but looking back he didn't want any stresses on the parts so he went this route. All fasteners now can be threaded in by hand without needing the tools till final tightening. I will source out the proper thickness spacers down the road and replace the washers with them, not a big rush for that at the moment. Today another friend will drop by and handle wiring in a switch for me to control the HE fans. Wished I didn't have to do this but I will need to remove the bumper again so he can access the HE wire harness. He needs access to the ground for the harness and the switch will interrupt the ground when off so the fans won't run and grounds the circuit when switched on all without messing with the operation of the IC pump. Then I will be done for this part of the mods..........................until next month when the 3:90 goes in, all the parts are sitting and ready to be installed (seals, brgs, bolts, nuts everything replaced with the gear install).
