Assembly should be here tomorow :D
However, it has come to my attention that drilling the holes through the firewall is going to be very tricky and very costly if I f**k it up.
Likelihood of me f**king it up....hmmm. Based on the facts
I only get one try at it
The guide I have is very very basic in explaining it.
It's the last step
The position is very difficult to get to with a drill
And because its just me in particular ... The chances are moderatelyhighly possiblelikely that I shall .f**k.It.UP.
I'd like to bring it down too low or 50/50 at least :lol:
For Anyone that has done this, it would be very VERY much appreciated if you could walk me through it with a step by step write up(with a few pics would be fuking brilliant) but all and any genuine help would be great. THANKYOU

Done it. If motor in car try lower it by removing side mount there is actually a flat on firewall that you drill through. Will be easier if you make a template too. Don't worry if not perfect once all bolted up inside cabin and on wall it will be fine

Really... Does it have to be drilled from inside the cabin? Or easier to lower the engine and do it from the outside?

How do I no where to drill from the outside though? The arm has to come through and attach to the pedal.. If its off the slightest then it won't connect
