To clarify, I TQ'd the "B Pillar" bolts to 28ftlbs.

The rear bars, I torqued the (8) main bolts to 45ftlbs.

Lets see pics of the Watson RSD installed!

Woo hoo! Looks GREAT!

I installed mine as well.



As for the bolts you mention, I torqued them to 335in/lbs. I also installed washers, as pictured below, because I wanted to ensure the clamping force was there, AND I wanted proper TQ to be met with those bolts.






I am very happy with this piece. It fit great.

I definitely had to get creative doing it solo.....fun stuff!

Thanks, I did torque the 10.9 B pillar bolts to 28 ft/lbs. and was thinking mid-high 40s for the rear bolts. You installation looks great and I'm looking forward to buttoning mine up.

What torque did you put on the hex head cap screws that hold the down bars in place?

Must get. Red roll bar, red harnesses, and red GT350R calipers should look quite nice on my OW car.

Anything you see that Watson could improve upon?
