Mine did.
Call them up and have them email you a .pdf of them.
Some of the holes line up, you need to drill others.

Re: Swap Mount Instructions
The drivers side I had all 4 line up, the passenger side only had 3 line up and I had to drill one hole. My car was a v6 car to start. I tossed my instructions, but IIRC, it's pretty much line up the forward facing holes of the adapter plates, to the rearward holes used on the kmember for the factory clamshells. There were no illustrations.....
Re: Swap Mount Instructions
^ Thats how you do it
Id suggest fabbing a "nut plate" with some scrap sheet metal and some nuts welded to it since the K-member nuts are a huge pain to access

Re: Swap Mount Instructions
thanks, I was thinking I was gonna have to take a holesaw to the Crossmember to access the nut! Ive got them in place.

Now I have to figure out with the Hawks Trans Crossmember if the fuel/brake lines get pushed up on top of the crossmember or on the inside edge???

Re: Swap Mount Instructions
I'd Secure it to the back end of the Kmember, It doesn't have much room but that's how the mounts are made.

Re: Swap Mount Instructions
Gotcha. Where I am concerned it where the fuel lines run through the tunnel. With the Hawks trans crossmember it interferes with the factory routing. I'm thinking it would be more safe to just bend the lines to go over the crossmember rather than let them be on the exhaust side of the crossmember. Either way it looks to be the factory routing is out the door.
