I have my MPS bolted down in the stock location with the rubber grommets. But it doesn't seem very secure.

How secured down should it be? It doesn't feel as sturdy as it should I think... Also, anyone have pics of what a stock MPS setup location looks like?

Thanks

Mike - Djet is going fine. Actually I fired it up a long time ago, I've been driving around daily now for about the past month and a half. No major problems yet, except for the issue with the engine suddenly dying on me when it gets wet in the rain. I need to troubleshoot further.

here you go, this is the best pic of the MPS that I have


Thanks for the shot. Gives me a better idea of what I should have.

There are 3 bolts with washers, 3 grommets, and 3 sleeves inside the grommets. You can install 2 of the bolt/grommet assemblies (the flange of the sleeve goes toward the body) on the car, slide the bracket and sensor into them (there are 2 "U" shaped slots on one side of the bracket, and the 3rd one points in the opposite direction), and secure the 3rd bolt through the grommet which you've conveniently left in the bracket. I believe there's one 6mm machine screw and 2 sheet metal screws, all with 20-25mm flat washers. The Cap'n



Thanks! I figured there were more bolts... I didn't look very hard but I remember only seeing one threaded hole portion on the chassis side of things, which is why I'm confused. Maybe when I POR-15ed the compartment and I painted over the threaded holes? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
