#10. Cool. I think ours is #43. That bracket was tricky. We first tried double sticky tape to avoid having to drill. It was not successful. It would pull up when driven. But then we used a light sticky to place it, to help find just the right spot before drilling. It took a while of experimenting, and with positioning the housing a little forward and back so that it didn't hit the radiator at the top, and the top of the snorkel opening didn't hit the top of the bumper opening for the radiator. I don't have an actual suggestion or precise procedure. Lots of trial and error. We did find that the measurement in the instructions for where to mount it side to side didn't place it exactly in the center.

Near the location where the bracket is in position, there is a hole in the crossmember. I took the bracket, welded an additional aprox. 30mm stainless piece to it with a hole right over the crossmember opening. A thread rod, two nuts and washers are now securing the intake properly without having to drill holes into the crossmember.
It's a little more work but nothing major. I wish Mugen would have thought the same way but other then that, i love this intake
