    MkIV IRS Bolts

    Has anyone taken note of the direction, front to rear vs rear to front, of the bolts holding the IRS carrier in the frame? My mechanic buddy, noted to me, I had some bolts that would not come out once the sheet metal was installed. I have the trunk floor, with drop box installed. I am going to look at this further next trip to the barn. I thought I followed the instructions and previous builds, but could have just put them in the easiest way.

    Mine are all rear to front. I believe the manual shows it that way as well. I don’t think the two front mounts really have a choice due to frame interference.

    Rear to front on mine as well.
    (Thought about that during assembly "What if this has to come out?"... Nothing a hole saw & plug won't fix.

    Thanks for the replies. If I need to, I will change any that might be an issue.
