apexi Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Since no one has replied yet, I don't fully understand. It looks like the bracket you're holding is supposed to go like this https://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=88404&d=1281052779 I got the pic above from this thread https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/grimmspeed-turbo-heat-shield-intsalled-142979.html Unless those aren't your pictures you've attached, and you're missing that bracket? *Also looks like it attaches to some other bracket too https://www.grimmspeed.com/content/install_guides/heat_shield_subaru.pdf Edited July 5, 2019 by apexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. Anyways that bracket I'm holding, the bolt holes don't line up with the top 2 studs of my DP, but if that's the correct part, I'll try to install it anyway. The history of this car since I've got it has been of questionable repair people. Missing random parts, botched repairs, and on and on.. hence why I'm asking.

Max Capacity Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Just glad I can be of some help... Hopefully the humidity is lower on Sunday. I just did a quick job on the old 86 F150 and was back in the house by 9AM. yuck, how do people put up with that humidity down south.

Scottydunno Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have absolutely no idea. 2 groups of friends moved down there about a year or so ago. They love it.. I say they can keep it! I'll be doing the same tomorrow morning, gotta do a brake line on my pickup, a 92 K1500 Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Funny you mention brake lines, when I was under the 86' I made a point of looking at the brake lines, even though most have been replaced. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
