rear beam
i'v had my rear beam and rear beam mounts off my festa rs turbo recently for a clean up and painting just wondering whats the best way to put it back toghther
the rear beam mounts have abit of adjustment by the looks of things so am i better off put the beam mounts on the beam and then fitting to the festa
or
shall i put the mounts back on the car 1st then putting the beam on
and do you need to leave the beam mounts lose, line up the beam somehow and then do them up or do they just need lining back up with the marks they left befor
and help appreciated

Re: rear beam
there is a spike, but it doesnt line it up, put the bracket on the beam but leave it loose, nip the bolts up that hold the beam/brackets to the car let it settle into its own position before tightening, however if th==yuo have the out line of the bracket still on the body, line it up both sides best you can
