For re-installation, all you need to do is hold the mount together and get those 4 bolts to the frame started, tightening those bolts will sadwich the mount back together - the rivets simply hold it together to make it easier..
For those intimidated by drilling rivets - the heads are only about 1/16" thick so it doesnt take too long to drill through them

Installed my BFI dog bone mount yesterday. Super easy install, and even on dsg it helped clean up the 1-2 & 2-3 shifts a bit. Not a night and day difference, but well worth $40.
Good job BFI. :thumbsup:

How long did it take for you to install it? It seems pretty straight forward...just not sure how much trouble it is to make it fit in there.

About 5 minutes. Took longer to jack my car up than it did to install.

as has been mentioned the torque arm insert install is very easy - aided by the fact that since this mount is harder than others, its slides in easier (man that sounds bad taken out of context) :thumbsup:

What is the hardness rating of other inserts, like the ECS one?

The transmission mount insert ( not the torque arm which is 90a) comes in two hardnesses - Stage 1 - 65a and Stage 2 - 85a.
Stock mounts are about 45-50a hardness

Anybody have any idea what these would do to a warranty? I understand the idea behind "if it causes it to break, it's not covered"...so I guess I'm wondering: what (if anything) could this cause to break?
Because I want one.

If you have a mod friendly dealer then they won't mind. If you are scared about warranty claims don't modify your car.

good rule of thumb,
However it is ulikely that a torque arm insert would void your warranty, unless you have the most naziesque dealer locally..
