    CSB backwards with early model

    I have an '87 zf/s52. I currently have a 96-99 m3 driveshaft and new, early style CSB (<08/87) waiting to go in to replace my current DS. is it still correct to mount the CSB backwards, even with the EARLY style? seems like it wouldn't be able to go onto the mounting bolts in the body. Can anyone with the early style chime in on this?

      I have the csb in my hand. I think I'll just have to run it as is

          you need to install it backwards. otherwise the driveshaft won't be straight. ask me how i know... it's not about the holes not lining up. if you look at the CSB it is not centered on the bracket. it needs to be shifted towards the passenger side i believe.
