Default gt500 Strut tower brace..?

hey guys..

some of you know, i ordered a GT500 strut bar and just picked it up from Ford today.. well before i left, i wanted to see how it was going to fit.. well i noticed that it touched the plenu, cover bore resting all the the way on the strut tower bolts..

i thought it was supposed clear the plenum cover and go on w/ no problem.. is somethign wrong here?

Lower the plenum cover.....Mount it below the fuel rail studs, instead of on top......

You can flip it backwards, with the curve facing the cabin. Or use washers.
