(47 AD) Holy crap, were we ever off. I'm gonna need to go back another 4-5 inches just to line the mounts up where Tom (Chassis Engineering, actually) says to put them. I'm already at the firewall. Anybody maybe tell me there's an easy fix we missed this afternoon?
Thanks,
jay

The problem is his mounts are supposed to go inside the frame rails, and they only fit in one spot. I guess I could try to rig them somehow, though...
Thanks,

Going over it in my head, I'm still not sure I can do it without cutting the firewall, but I'm gonna try. Thanks, everybody.
