I'll take that bit my friend

Oklay, it was pretty easy, but I still had my BFH out for the brackets, as they were NOT perfect.

zipties FTW!


vadim expressed some issue when they installed my LET h/e as well, but they were able to get it done with not much hassle.

Sorry, I want my cake and eat it too, WTF.
Now I have to say these German cars are the most fun I have had in my inventory to work on. I have an aircraft manufacturing background and like everything airworthy, in this case autobahn worthy, therefore, there ain't gonna be any chingadera attachements. I can say we'll get it installed eventually. Have to sit in my stew a while longer. Shame on me for having an expectation to have to do some additional work. If I didn't already have four thousand other projects in the fire, I wouldn't be troubled messing with another project. There is no adaption either for transferring the baffling. OK, picky I may be, perfectionist I am, aim high, progress not perfection. Will shoot pics after I finish install. Thanks for the excellent feedback.
