the Paxton-supplied aluminum relocation tabs using the stock hardware.(Fig 31, arrows) This
will move the reservoir over one inch towards the driver’s side. Install the thick round spacers
on the recut reservoir bracket. Reinstall the reservoir using the stock nut on the rear notch
and the supplied hardware on the front notches.

support rod. Relocate the support rod by moving it one bolt hole towards the driver’s side
and secure with the original bolt. Using a 1/4” drill bit, drill through the remaining mounting
hole and secure with the supplied nut, bolt and washers. (FIG 32) You can gain access to the
hole through a slot in the body sheet metal directly above the hole you drilled.Slide the 3/8”
