If it is the TSW damper the installation instructions can be downloaded from their site.

I guess you need to find out whose damper Helix sells. Looks like he sells the Lord of the Flies supplied damper. Do a search here on NAM, there is a how to for this damper.

HMS 2065 Engine Damper $60.00 Quantity HMS 2066 Engine Damper Brackets $20.00 Quantity http://www.helix13.com/images/enginedamperv1.th.jpgWe all know that the stock engine mount on 2002-2006 MINI Coopers does not
do an adequate job of holding the engine in place, especially during hard shifting. The MotoringTech.com kit reduces unecessary engine flex, resulting in smoother, faster shifts, and gives the driver a more direct connection to the car. It makes
motoring even more enjoyable than it already is! The kit mounts directly to the engine block and the
frame, requiring no drilling or modification of stock parts*. All necessary hardware required for installation is included with the kit. You will need to have some basic tools handy in order to install so please check the instructions in the pdf file below prior to installation.

*Note: HMS 2006 Brackets are Neccessary for 2002 and 2003 model year cars

*Out of Silver

It is the LOTF damper. Helix is selling them, but it is NOT their damper.

No offense, but didn't any instructions come with your damper?
