I'm only gettin like 30 minutes a day to work on this, lol.


Anyway, I drilled the 4th hole for the lower plate to go through. When I put the plate up through the tower and through the holes, the plate doesn't sit flush on one side. It's the inside of the strut tower, towards the STB, that it's not sitting flush. The plate is hitting on the side of the strut tower.



Anyone else have this problem? Should I just beat the tower with a BFH to make the plate fit?
 
do the other 3 holes all line up accordingly? if they do then yeah do what you got to do. make sure you have the right plate on, right/left before you go doing any thing rash.
 
Correct plate. Correct orientation. All holes line up. I guess I'll have to beat it a little.




It's probably like that because one side is jacked up and the STB somehow has an odd "twist" on the tower.
