Yes apparently there flares are different and not "correct" but they still seal. Mine has been in there for a few years without any problems. But ring Pete my mechanic as he is the one who put it in for me.

not sure if it has an adapter plate for the booster i think it all bolts up. i know the chrome bracket is off a different model as its bent the oppisite way around. And yes fiber glass is fun!

There is light at the end of the tunnel........just.

Your lucky im a nice guy and i dont mind :hmmm: Could have had the boot mate i sold it about a year ago was statrting a new one when the engine decided to start playing up so thats on hold for now. You only need the arms from memory, :idea3: might aswell paint them before they go in

Yeah has changed a little since then biggest change is it has no motor,Dash or wheels...........:-) I just used my CV shafts you dont need to change that its just the arms. Hows that SS coming along?

yeah ill have the gauges hooked up but they dont need that much room just a few wires. Looking at putting the cruise control on the drivers side not blocking off the passenger side vent though. Would have plenty of room if i didint want aircon
