I got mine in. Looks great.
I was afraid this would happen, but the bar is interfering with my intake manifold on my M42 pretty hard once I tighten everything down. I'm running solid motor mounts, and the height difference is just enough to cause problems.
I could clearance the metal on intake manifold, or shave the motor mounts to be shorter. I thought of running washers under the strut bar for my track event this past weekend, but that seemed like it would eliminate the benefits of the bar and possibly stress the studs in the top mount in a weird way. Any thoughts on using washers temporarily? Are my assumptions correct?
Would some of you M42 guys mind measuring your clearance between the bar and the back edge of your intake manifold?
