Yeah sent it last night. Other forum members have the same mounting holes as mine. I've seen your vertical one as well. It's just this one has the canister bracket that's near impossible to get off

So I did find the 2 hex nuts in the box. Now the problem is just getting that bracket off. It definitely has to come off in order for the nut to securely attach with enough thread.

Talked to JD yesterday, he said take a small hole saw (bi-metal) remove the pilot drill bit from hole saw and drill off the bracket from the two bungs that the bolts are threaded into. After bracket is off get some vice-grips and break loose and remove the two bungs, you'll need to get a wrench on top of two bolts that held on the bracket just to keep them from turning. You WILL be using those bolts that come from the top of trans. He explained how to do this over the phone, then 10 minutes later I had mine completely off and ready to install. The drilling is a pain but if you have or get the right hole saw (3/4") or so, just so it fits over the bungs you'll be fine. It definitely helps to have the rear tire and splash guard off. Soooo I hope this helps and is understandable.

Going to pick up a hole saw today. I started with my dremel yesterday and hacked a good part of it off already. Thanks!
