              It shipped today. Call me if you have any questions on the install. You will use all the washers because you don't have the skid plate. Lets see pix when you are done.

                Actually I do have your skid plate and that is why I'm happy your made the cross brace.

                So how does that change the install?

                  you will only use two spacers.

                    Can you describe where the spacers go?

                    Car -> skidplate -> spacers -> crossbrace?

                    Or is it obvious when I try to bolt them together?

                      Can you give a price for the skid plate & your x brace? I took it that the pic of your X brace was $249 - add the skid plate to it & the package price is ? What would shipping be to 92630 (So Ca).

                      Thanks - they look very nice

                            first install the skid plate. if done remove the PS rack bolts remove the CA bolts. Hold the brace in place slide spacers between skid plate and brace install new longer bolts though the cross brace, spacer and skid plate. then the CA bolts. Leave it all loose until all bolts are started they tighten and you are done.

                              Trying to install the crossbrace right now and the holes on the brace don't line up to the ones on my vert.

                              The bolt holes are smaller than the diameter of the bolts but I think that is due to the powercoating taking up space.

                              edit: It seems as the PS rack holes are closer together on a vert than it is on a hardtop. We drilled out the holes a but in order to bolt the crossbrace on.

                                I think I will open the holes a tad. I may have the tolerance a little tight.
