drill the side holes. Do this to both sides.
10. Be very careful with the coolant line on the passenger side. If the baseplate hits the line, it will need to be
bent. On the passenger side, use a long drill bit on the front hole and cover the drill bit with a tube to prevent
damage to the coolant line. Use a 13/32” drill bit on both sides.
