Step 1: Install Bulkhead Adapter
A. Remove the forward upper Tie Down Brackets.
B. Remove the two (2) upper Bedrail bolts per side.
C. Remove the three (3) upper Bulkhead bolts.
Step 2: Installing Mounting Flanges on Bedrails and Bulkhead
Note: Notice that two sizes of metric bolts have been provided. The four (4) large 8mm x 40mm bolts are to be used in the forward positions of the Track Mounting Flanges where the tiedown brackets were removed. The seven (7) smaller 6mm x 40mm bolts are to be used in all the other locations.

Congratulations on purchasing the finest hood hinge kit made. We are very proud of this kit, and you will be too! We have tried to make the installation as easy as possible. Most of the kit is pre-assembled to help you out. You will need tools, a drill, and 1/8”, 1/4”, and 3/8” bits, and a round file.
1. When the hood closes with the new hinge, it locks down with the stock hood latch. The safety latch, or secondary latch is no longer needed, so remove it.

To begin removal of your OEM exhaust system, you will need to cut the tail-pipes just behind the mufflers. Remove the tail pipes from the OEM rubber insulators. Do not damage the OEM rubber insulators, as they will be re-used with your new system. Next unbolt the extension pipes from the H-pipe and remove the mufflers from their OEM rubber insulators. Do not discard the fasteners required to bolt the extension pipes to the mufflers, as they will be re-used.

1. Start by supporting the car on 4 jack stands. The car should be sitting on approximately the same angle as it does on the ground, or slightly lower in front.
2. Remove all the old front suspension components. Note that on the underside of the frame are the two rubber axle snubbers (or the holes for them, if they are missing) directly above the axle. Mark them for later reference.
3. We would recommend that at this point, you tack weld or clamp a temporary brace across the frame rails in front of the old crossmember as shown in Figure 1. This helps to maintain the rail dimension after the old crossmember is removed.

When working on under or around any vehicle exercise caution. Please allow the vehicle’s exhaust system to cool before removal, as exhaust system temperatures may cause severe burns. If working without a lift, always consult vehicle manual for correct lifting specifications. Always wear safety glasses and ensure saje work area. Serious injury or death could occur if safety measures are not followed.

VW Embedment Strain Gauges are used to measure strain in reinforced concrete and mass concrete.
Operation
The body of the strain gauge is a steel tube with flanges at either end. Inside the body, a steel wire held in tension between the two flanges. Strain in the concrete causes the flanges to move relative to one another, increasing or decreasing the tension in the wire.
The tension in the wire is measured by plucking the wire with
electromagnetic coils and measuring the frequency of the resulting vibration. Strain in the wire is calculated by squaring the frequency reading and multiplying a gauge factor and a batch calibration factor.
