what is the problem you are having with that? I don't have the brace, but after intalling my reman had an oil leak problem that I later found out was due to a nub on the motor mount contacting the head of one of the pan bolts which, when the factory puts the car together is left out. this causes the motor mount not to be able to sit flat against the pan resulting in an oil leak from the bolts that go thru the motor mount and the pan into the block. You need to machine a recess in the motor mount to accommodate the bolt head in the pan, which is an easy 5 minute job if you have access to a drill press with a vise and a 1/2" end mill (rather than a drill bit ) to machine away the nub and create a recess in its place. I'm in north GA, a little too far to help but feel free to email for info at tom.jelly@comcast.net
