i installed my D30 ruff stuff cover this weekend and i ran into a couple problems... i ended up grinding most of the cover at the top corner to clear my JCR OTK steering. I also didn't notice that some of the holes didn't line up until i had it in place with the RTV about to cure and 8 out of the 10 bolts in place (my fault for not checking i guess). i ended up getting nine of them started and had to drill out the last hole to get the last one in. not a huge deal but since i had the countersunk option, the bolt is a bit tweaked when torqued down as the head gets pulled to one side. I'm not complaining about the quality and i don't want to shy anyone away from the cover, it is incredibly stout and a well made piece. This is just my experience and I'm curious if anyone else has had similar problems? I never saw anything along these lines when i was searching on here before i bought it... no real surprise it didn't clear the tie rod since it has to stick out further than the stock cover and i just thought i'd throw a warning out there for future record to avoid surprises for others. Not sure what to think of the holes not lining up though... what do you think the chances are that the bolt holes on my housing are out of spec?
Again, still a great product in my opinion and well worth itatriot:
