Hi - I got the "reinforcement kit" from the dealer yesterday - it consists of four very small pieces of metal, about 3/4 x 2 x 3/32, formed to fit next to the existing tabs, that are to be mig welded on to the subframe and tab. Probably your inde didn't want to spend the $110 for four pieces of metal that look like they should cost maybe $5 - $10 at the most! I had illusions of the reinforcing kit actually increasing the thickness of the existing tabs, but such is not the case. The metal just goes on the ends of what's there. The instructions do say they must be mig welded on. Now if Portland Import Auto Wreckers can just come through on the subframe I'll be set to start on the car...
