How hard is it to install a CHE K-MEMBER BRACE on to a early 05 GT? I was looking at them; it said if your build date was before 1/1/05 you will need to drill holes and add a adapter plate.

Has anyone done this?

Thanks

Not hard at all, it made a huge difference on my car, excellent piece!!! You MUST have a torque wrench though. Mine is an 07 and I haven't done one on an early 05 but Chuck's instructions are very easy to follow.

The 08 was cake even with the Trq limiters. Not sure about the 05's, though I can't see it being too hard.

I didn't have to drill any holes on our '05, but I don't know how early it was. We bought it in July of '05 off the lot.

Thanks for the help.

I have a very early 05 build 10/04; I took a quick look under the car and looks like I will need to drill holes in the k member and add the brackets.

Thanks again

Minor modification but sooooooooooo well worth it, I couldn't believe the difference it made on my car. C.H.E. is all I use.
