STB Question Okay, I picked up a UMI stb when they had the gp going on, just got around to installing it now. The mounting bracket sits flush with the wheel well on the passenger side, but on the drivers side it doesn't want to sit down flush with the surface. I tried moving it around to see if I could get it to, but couldn't. I just tightened everything down and I don't see a problem with it, but just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before, or if they realize I'm just missing something. The UMI stb's don't have mounting brackets that are adjustable, so I just figure that the bracket isn't on the correct angle. Any thoughts?
