Default Beam Support Plates
I installed the support plates in early spring and now it appears that the bolts are loose again[ gear shift moves up during low gear acceleration]. Is it normal for them to loosen? I autox about every weekend and have been on the track for about 100 miles since the installation. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Are you talking about the Beam Plates that Bill Boudreau sells at ZR51 Performance?
