I have a new Steeda IRS brace kit and I'm stuck trying to get this installed, specifically bolting the single center hole in the picture. The bolts on the left in picture are too thick and don't thread into car's cradle support bracket, and thinner bolts on the right are not long enough to go through the brace and catch the threads. What am I doing wrong?
They didn't include a parts list, or any documentation for that matter, so I don't know if this is right.

It looks like you’re missing the bolt that goes into the center hole.

The bolts on the left are both for the 2 holes that goes at the IRS. The right bolts are for what goes into the frame rail towards the front...I don't see the bolt for the center. Mine was a provided silver bolt. I remember it still being difficult to get in and had to adjust the bracket it connects to though.

Edit: you should also have gotten documentation that says which bolts to use.

Here's where my center bolt is.

I think bolts 3 & 4 (starting from the left) are the centre bolts (without the nuts) :like:

This! The nuts belong on bolts one and two in the pic.

Found the instructions for ya...

But the bolts needed are 10x35mm (for the frame rails)
10x50mm (for the center brace you are talking about) - I don't see this in your pic.
12x45mm (with the nuts)
12x25mm (with the large threaded plate).

Thanks for the help! I found some grade 10.9 flanged 10mm x50mm bolts locally and got it all buttoned up. thanks again
