I'm pretty sure that is next on the list, that or the subframe alignment kit from Steeda. I'll have to check out that transmission mount insert. Sounds interesting and I was unaware they made such a thing, must have missed it.Installed that shifter yet? I put mine in a couple of years ago. Just recently, I installed Steeda's Transmission Mount Bushing Insert. Wish I'd done that a while ago! It made my shifts much more consistent. Previously, I always wondered with each shift what it would feel like... The fact that it was such a cheap, easy to install upgrade makes me
Yeah, I missed it until I saw someone else mention it.
Do you still have the wipers off ?Time for the top side cowl and strut tower braces. I was able to source used parts for the cowl mounting plate and cowl brace which is great.
I ordered new nylon nuts for the strut tower (W712334-S440) and the three bolts for the cowl mounting plate (W717964-S450B).
I decided to remove the battery tray and cowl trim so that everything could receive a moderate detailing. It is only one bolt to remove the battery, three bolts to remove the battery box, and then lift the cowl trim straight up to the ceiling and out as it attached via a tongue and groove.
Cowl mounting plate.
The cowl trim soaking in 303 Protectant to bring everything back to jet black and provide UV protection.
Nice and new jet black trim.
All zipped back up and ready for back country roads.
I installed right after snapping the pic. If you still have need I can pop one of the wipers arms off tomorrow.Do you still have the wipers off ?
If you do, I would really appreciate some good quality images of the spline on the spindle and also the inner bore of the wiper arm …
Cheers,

Nice choice on the stripes as I didn't even think about changing dimensions. I purchased the standard dual line rockers with no lettering in anthracite (to match my wheels) and bought the black pin stripes to go along the top and bottom. This is cheap enough that if I put them on and I don't like the look I'll order another set in different colors (and maybe dimensions, now that you mention it).

Looks great on OF!Nothing big today but it is what I had time for. Minor aesthetic upgrades. I had been browsing the various web sites looking for hood grilles plus parking lamp curtains that I liked but couldn't find what wanted. @MAGS1 turned me on to these, and me like, plus the gloss black matches my gloss black Mach 1 spoiler. Things should slow down for me in a few weeks and I can get the rest of suspension bits installed. Bilstein shocks, Steeda minimum drop springs, Steeda sways, Steeda end links, plus my Steeda short shifter. Time is something hard to come by right now, but not complaining. Work is good.
