A&A Frame Savers
On the wheel brackets, does the kit come with a template and/or instructions where to drill the hole in the front Frame brackets to install the wheel brackets?
Thanks

Hope this helps a little.

I just recieved my frame savers from A&A and they came with mounting instructions and a diagram showing and describing how to mount them. The instructions make it very clear and they are easy to follow.

If you want the frame saver's to really do what they are supposed to do then you need to weld them on after you drill and install, if not the first time you bump something hard you will bend the 3/8 bolt (or maybe 1/4 bolt)that is the "crank shaft" of the wheels which need to roll on the shaft(bolt) and is not designed to hold up the weight of your car, by welding the brackets on them on you will move the stress point from the bolt's to the frame 
trust me you will be disapointed if you think you can rely on any product as such with out welding

Of course, this could only occur if my wife were driving.
