Default Problem Installing BMR Torque arm

I baught an adjustable BMR torque arm (and relocation bar). But I wasn't able to install it because the bracket that goes on the bushing at the end of it wasn't included. Am i suppose to buy this seperately or is it suppose to come with it?

If it's seperate where am i suppose to buy it?

The factory torque arm has a clamp on the tranny. We can't use that one. Im talking about for the BMR torque arm... it has its own big bushing.... but mines didnt come with a clamp for it... So how am i suppose to connect to the relocation bar/cross member?

You use the stock clamp. You have to drill out the rivets holding the stock bushing in that clamp and then the BMR bushing will fit in it.

Its a PITA.

wow I just had this problem, I just installed an adj tq arm too and I first grimded the rivets first then drilles them out BUT LISTEN ME! lol
DO NOT bend those brackets!!!!
if u do they are a mother to line back up
I spent 5 hrs on my back trying to figure which way to bend them back, and it was harder for me cause I am not relocating mine just replacing it with an SLP TA and u know there is no room up there to see!!
hope that helps.
let me know how that goes.
also don't forget to measure ur stock pinion angle before u replace ur stock pieces.
goodluck brotha!
if u do those damn

If you are trying to connect the bushing to our torque arm relocation bracket you will need the clamshell we provide with the relocation kit. Just let me know if it's missing.

I must say that I bought the T/A relocation cross member and it made a huge difference in my car + the peace of mind knowing that the T/A is no longer stressing the tranny tailshaft. Yes it sounds like his clamshell is missing if he has the same setup as I do.

Does the adj BMR trans mounted TA come with an angle finder? Will it work with the UMI TA relocation also? I really need to get one soon just cant decide on the UMI or BMR.

Yes, our full length torque arm comes with the angle finder. It will work with the UMI relocation bracket as long as you use our torque arm bushing that is supplied with the torque arm. If you any other question regarding our product line feel free to ask.
