Matt, I never wrote up an installation guide for the plates as it is not much harder than just R&Ring the originals if the fiberglass is good and drilling two more mounting holes. When we do the next set I'll try to find the time to take pictures and do a step by step procedure. In the past I only pointed out their availability as we're still the only vendor making them. I probably shouldn't mention that as it's one of my few fixes not already copied by some other vendor!

I also seem to be having problems searching the archives :( This might be just my cluelessness though :) I need to find out how to install these re-enforcing plates. Can I get a point in the right direction to search, maybe a keyword or something. I've tried searching already and it just brings up this latest post.
