Need Help with Vert X-Brace / EM Headers
I've had a rattle since the install of my EM headers that seems to have become louder. At first I thought it was due to the AC but now I'm thinking it may be the x-brace. The middle plate for my convertible x-brace is not bolted down. It is sitting on top of the X. I also remember there being rectangular bushings/washers that bolts went through. I cant remember if they somehow went in the middle or on the ends of the x-brace. I don't see them anywhere underneath and I'm wondering if the shop where I had the headers installed left them off. Does anyone know what I'm referring to and where they go? If so please help me to remember. I'll go back to the shop to see if they still have them. If anyone has a picture of them or one that shows how they are connected that would help also.
Thanks
Thanks
