The factory bolt goes back into the right that was hard to get. Their 3 new bolts are used in the other 3 locations.

@SugarMouth I am in the middle of installing the ID Speed brace, the instructions are a bit vague on some details. It says to remove 4 diff cover bolts, and I can see which 4 they mean, including the one that is up on the right that is hard to get to. But then it says to re-use one of the factory bolts and use the other 3 supplied new bolts. It does not say WHERE to put the three new ones or if it matters. Any thoughts? From your pic I can tell obviously where you put 2 of the new ones...I would guess that I'd put the 3rd new one way up top on the right. Anyways...help? Thanks

I believe the top right bolt stays factory, the hard to get to one.

Thanks guys. Yep a little while after I posted I was at the point of actually getting the main body of the brace up in there and yep realized the only one that could fit in that top right location was the shorter factory bolt.

I can't find it now, but on this site I had a link which I saved the tab for days where it had the instructions for putting the ID Speed brace in. They are absolute garbage. So many details left out, and it bothered me so much that I took pics and am thinking about re-wrting them for the benefit of others after me.

Got it in though, it rules and I can tell a difference. So great to be able to rage on this thing finally!
