    Thanks, Eric.

    Only issue with the new puck setup is I don't recommend attempting to use them with the OEM screw jack - nothing for the jack to engage, and that thing is unstable when used with the factory jack points.

    I bought a proper Torin scissor jack with a large base and flat top, $18 at Walmart. For those rare roadside emergencies. I always take a floor jack to the track, and usually to MOTD.

    Yeah, I laughed out loud. Last set of mounted wheels/tires I bought from Tire Rack weren't directional. So I don't know how long they've been doing this.

    Thanks. That's kind of you to say. Building our toys up is a lot of fun. Your intense build(s) and willingness to play with all the Mini BCM, ECM, etc makes mine look like the simple plug-n-play build it really was!

    Was thinking the same thing....
    Being south of the Mason - Dixie line and in the Bible belt....
    I would have thought "No Way" would that plate make it through the "tightend up" filters...

    Here's a little "Tighten up" for your enjoyment...

    Notice how tight the white guys are....LOL

    You would have to add the G to make it match, it would even have the same amount of characters[emoji38]

    Not likely that you will have any problems especially like you mentioned most of the cage will be covered.
