V1 Subframe Mount Holes

[Briann1177]

Are anybody else's rear subframe mounting holes off? My frame holes are a good 1/2" wider center-to-center than the actual subframe mount holes. I think I can suck up the difference with ratchet straps, but I just wanted to double check that I'm not doing something wrong.

Yep, the second bolt we put in was about 1/2" off on mine, Just had one friend pull the bar over hard while I screwed the bolt in.

No biggy.

Now that I look at it, that's probably by design. There is a bolt head on the passengers side water pump area that's within a 1/4" of the frame. Once you squeeze it to install the subframe, that space will probably shrink and would have made the engine install that much tighter than if it wasn't there.

That bolt head scratched my frame during install.
