Mark,

Guys have used the stock bolts but I would strongly suggest you get the longer bolts, I'm not sure you will be able to get the correct size and grade from a harware store. Either order the bolt kit from BMR or see if any sponsors carry them in stock, it might take you you a few extra days to install your new T/A but you will have the peice of mind that it was done correctly.

THanks guys. why are there 4 bolt holes on the bracket of the bmr t/a? the top joint. it has threads and a jam nut is that adjustable too or just leave it as is?

Al, I love the bracket man! AMW kit is easy as hell to install w/ your bracket. it only took me 10 minutes to do everything. My check engine light on was flashing after car was turned on cuz pet **** was open on catch can. lol. thought it was closed. Thanks again.

Mark,

You use the bottom adjuster to get the correct pinion angle, not sure what you mean by " there are 4 bolt holes on the bracket "?

Glad to here you liked the bracket, thanks.

There were 4 bolt holes on the bmr t/a. the ones that bolt up to the rear end.
Just got done installing my bmr t/a and bmr relocation brackets, took me 2 hours to do both was kindah simple. The instruction says to put the angle tool on the drive shaft? what part of the drive shaft? towards the rear end or the tranny?
Cant I just put the angle tool on the pinion yoke towards the rearend-u-joints and adjust it accordingly? Im not really sure if I adjusted the pinion right, just making sure.
when Im looking @ the angle tool which side is negative, towars the left or right of the zero? thanks in advanced.

Found a couple pics on the web that might help answer where too place the angle finder.

Where can you get one of those pinion angle guages at? I know they come with the T/A but where can you get them separate
