Default export brace tips anybody

Trying to fit the export brace to day and am about 10mm off at the firewall if I fit it to the shock tower, after reading the FAQ my plane was to remove firewall shock tower brace, remove top shock mount, jack the car up put axle stands under the subframe on both side, past the firewall, and leave for a few days/hours so that the engine can settle a bit and I can get the bolts in and tight on the export brace. Other than that I at least got the pertonix and new coil in and working!!

Good plan...let it sag into place. That's what I did. If it sags the wrong way, support the opposite structure.

I used a bottle jack and a few pieces of 1x and 4x4 wood stock to work mine into place.
