Default monte carlo bars

Did your bar fit this badly or did I get a bad one. I have the same gap on both sides. The Export brace fit like a glove. Didn't have any problems installing it even though I thought it would be a bear because it is on the rotisserie.

The problem is that there is a gap athe the bottom as well. It almost looks like it was welded wrong. I dont want to chip or crack the chrome either.

Yeah, the one I got from NPD fit just about as well as yours does. I put the bolts in the upper holes and used a combination of a lead filled rubber hammer and steel drifts to pound and pull it into place. After getting all the bolts started, I was able to torque them down and pull it into place.

Good luck!
