First and foremost it

 

Cool, Steve!

Got to see how they look like in person on Sunday.

 

You used only 28 lbs of torque on the xbrace bolts? IMHO, it seems inadequate. Anyone else?

The only down side I see is that underside lift point (where the floor jack goes) is partially covered with the front of the x-brace..

 

PsychoBen ~ yup looks pretty good....


Sideways ~ yup 28 ft lbs that was the spec listed on the instructions

ugotmade ~ I know what you mean but i'm pretty careful when using the jack. however i don't really see anyway around this issue now that the undercarrage jack point is partially covered.

I'm pretty sure the Helm's manual specifies 36 ft-lbs for those bolts without the brace. I would expect that the bolts should be AT LEAST that tight with the brace. I have the DiGrappa X-brace, and found that my bolts came loose when I only tightened them to 36, so I increased the torque to 45 ft-lbs.
