TPI runners/plenum install.. will not align correctly, why?
It's very odd. I can install both runners loosely, and when I drop the plenum between the runners to bolt it in, I can't get damn thing to line up. It will line up fine on the driver's side, but on the pass. side it wants to sit crooked. I've spent about 5 hours so far on this with no luck. I've tried every method that I can think of. When I was removing the pass. side runners, I didn't know that there was that one bolt that had to be accessed from the opposite side, so I pryed the hell out of the runners in an attempt to remove them. I think this may be part of my problem. What can I do to get all this stuff installed?
