Poly mount at trans. Pretty much 0*. I attached the angle finder to the bracket coming off at the end of the trans as it looked like the best flat spot.

Final result after lots of scrubbing. Have some metal sealant coming that I will apply to help keep clean. Had really hoped the Griot's cleaner would do more.

The camera really picks up the very fine scuff marks left from the 2000 grit, making the wheel look much rougher than it is. Polishing will smooth all those out.

Tried to capture the right angle. When pulling up to the garage whenever the car is on the QuickJack and wheels are off, looks like a rocketship blasting off!
