Just got it in today and once asked for dimensions to where to install it and could not get exact specs. Just got a rear bar from a member today so this stock one got installed to match the other stock one I just purchased. The links were installed for centering the general position of the bar itself. The bar is located 1/4" from the corner of the inner front midwall under the tank area. You can see the felt and a small gap behind the bar. Is this the way it needs to go on. LEMENO.

I go to bird board and notice an inside bolt plate duhicky that I didn't get with the set. Crap! Is it realy required or will washers be enough? This plate only helps when the bolts are torked to a specific value so it reacts more as a friction connection and now is stressed at the washers and the shear of the bolts. If that palte was welded, then I can see it's value but just squeezed still marginaly put less stress on the sheet metals shear strenght in relation to the bolts. Will washers be enough? As mentioned before, its only a stock bar and the bar should rotate freely in the rubber bushing.
