All has gone well so far (as you can see from the posts above) but I have a question.

The supporting plates that fit over the sub frame mounts (on a W123) fit snugly on top of the sub frame mount. However they do not align nicely with the holes on the under side of the car.

I guess I need to twist these steel plates into position and then fit the retaining M10 bolts.

When should I do this?

Should I twist the plates - and the mount - before or after tightening the main pins?

(Oh and does anyone know what ht e torque is for these bolts?)

I can't find the answer to these questions on older threads.
