Default UPR panhard rod relocation bracket install tip

I wrestled with this thing for a good hour and could not for the life of me get the damn bolt holes lined up. I eventually gave up, because it was getting dark. At first I thought it was only designed for upr's pandhard bar, I have an edlebrock bar, because the bushing seemed to wide.

Took another shot today. I put the bracket on and just loosely put the top bolt in to hold it. Then I decided to put the panhard rod in the bracket first before installing the passenger side. Bingo! Bolt went right through with very little fuss!
Trying to install the passenger side first and then the drivers side is damn near impossible, because you are binding up the bar by moving it back a little. It in turn jacks up the relocation bracket alignment.

Hopefully this will help someone else. i could not find any instructions for the upr bracket.

I apologize for the lack of instructions. I'm glad you figured it out. We're in the process of recording install videos for all of our parts. That seems to be the direction our industry is headed.
