Looks very well done. What did you use for a bushing at the inner fender brace?

Is the red that I see in the fender side mount a bushing? I like that. Might want to put some jam nuts on the rod ends though.

They mount where the OEM engine hook is located, using the same bolts holes.

did you put any rubber behind the bracket on the fender mount? i heard these things can make tons of noise if not.
