I installed a bracket and brace the other day on a friends 617 Turbo, and it seems that the bolt on the brace closest to the crank can't be used (others have found the same problem). Even a 5mm longer bolt sticks up just enough to touch the tach pin, and not even allow a nut to be used. I will only provide 2 bolts with each turbo brace from now on, and will modify the brace for the next production run, deleting the last hole and shortening the part. If you receive a turbo brace that has 3 bolts, DON'T USE ALL THREE! I have sent a few braces to folks that are installing their kits at a later date, and they have 3 bolts in the kit. I just want to make sure no more tach pins don't get bent or broken off.......Rich
