There were a few pictures on page 3 (on my default forum settings), but here are a few more.
Yeah, end of the week they should be boxed, as of mid-week next week you should be able to place an order through various vendors (I hope I'm not whoring this thread out to the point of t3h ban-hammer). Again, I am always here to answer any questions you guys might have. I'm finishing the instruction write up tomorrow, but if my instructions are unclear call me and I'll help you out.

Pretty easy, just requires that the end user have a torque wrench, a good idea of how to remove the strut tower bar and engine cover, and 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm box wrenches and sockets (maybe a crecent wrench able to go as large as 27mm, if they want to adjust preload). Most difficult part of the install is getting the two halves of the engine bracket together.

I don't have any pictures of the test vehicle with out the damper installed, sorry. I can try and get some when I get the car back in to replace the brackets with finished parts. Is there something in particular that you are looking for in the pictures?

Actually, because the Crawford/APS style bar uses a similar layout as our bracket I'm trying to get them to co-exist. I'm trying to get a car in here that has either bar so I can make a template for those users that would like to use both. This would involve drilling through the Crawford bracket (or APS), placing our bracket over the top of that, using a longer piece of hardware, and bolting the damper to both. This would not impact either component, so long as both brackets were in place.
I'm working on making sure the bracket will work with almost every 350Z besides those with the various supercharger kits.

No, we supply adequate washers to space the rest of the bar up from the strut towers for most IM spacers currently available for the VQ. If you already have spacers for the strut tower bar installed on the car, then you can either toss our washers out or use ours (same thickness as the bracket) and get rid of the spacers you were using.
Robert, not this weekend, probably next weekend I'll have a chance to blast down to CoS and get that set up to you. Can you bring along a basic tool set so we can get it installed and I can take some pictures? I'd steal a set from the work tool box, but I think they might be curious as to my needing to borrow $1000 worth of Snap On tools.

Spoke to Dan today. I'll be doing some R&D on getting this to work with the APS bar. I'll be sending him lots of pics.

I have these in stock and ready to ship, please when some of you get these shoot me some feedback (good or bad) and installed pics. If nothing else I may use some of your pics for future instruction revisions.

Robert, shoot me a call today/tomorrow when you have a few minutes...I'm trying to figure out a way for me to make it down there this weekend so we can get this setup on the car.
