#2. Opens up the space for my rear radiator.

Let me know if you have questions.

I agree with your comment on body damage. At least you can protect the transmission.
My 818s has no plans for wheel to wheel racing. If I get bumped in the back, it's going to crunch my radiator.
My next task is to seal up where the new shaft come out of the transmission.
