Default any one have issues with bmr tq arm and moser 12 bolt?

the bmr adj torque arm mounting tabs have excess metal that protrudes into the housing of the 12 bolt past the flat spot where the stock arm mounts...

anyone ran into this before? im going to grind the torque arm tab down closer to the bolts to make it work..

Sometimes you do have to do a little grinding, we have run into it before. Bob

when i installed mine, BMR recommended that you use the 'inside' bolts, so that the TA wont rub in the tunnel. you gotta cut off a pretty good amount.

i used a 3" cutoff wheel (air powered), and then smoothed out the rough edges with a grinding stone on my dremel.

my old stle bmr doesnt have but one set of bolt holes. i ended up cutting off like a half inch of metal about a half inch past the bolt holes and got it installed today.
