Thanks for the post! Only problem is i checked this about 5 minutes too late, lol. Just got it all fitted in and finished! So im not sure how all you people with 9" cones have it fitted in as you did, but from your pictures i could not get mine in anything like yours! Luckily with a lot of cussing and trying to make everything fit in, Ive completed it, though it appears different from the pictures and i had to use the other half of the 90* angle down in the fender well.
For a note to those who dont want to cut the brace, you dont have to. I just unscrewed the one inside bolt(the one closer to the engine, not the fender one) and pretty much just bent/forced it it out towards the fender. As another note, i tried removing it and im not sure if there is an easier way, but that back bolt was a b**** to get to. Then after i finally managed to get it off, i noticed the little triangular clip thing and couldnt figure how to remove that so gave up on that idea. I'm sure it's easy to remove just didnt feel like searching.
Now that i've typed a essay here.... Good write up streetwolf, and good luck to those who try this in the future. Trying to use a smaller cone might be easier, though it doesnt look as bad ass, might save your breath on some cursing![]()
