M7 USS installation help

Hi all

the instructions on M7's website wasn't very clear.... i just installed the first 2 of the 3 parts, and the remaining part is the front brace... now, the kit is supplied with everything... with nut insert... 2 short bolts with washers, and 2 long ones, with 2 washers, and a golden thing... there's only 4 bolt holes on the brace itself... can someone walk me through how that tool is inserted? i only got a hand drill to put on the new hole.... where does the 2 long bolts go and where the 2 short bolts go (from what i can gathered, i think short goes in the front, long goes in the back row, is that correct?)

thanks for the help

btw.... i think if i was doing this next time i should get someone with a lift to install it for me..............rolling around under the 10' tall jackstands i was using is...... difficult

You might call Peter/M7 directly they seem very helpful.
