Installing the keeper is quite easy. You
will remove the 4 center screw buttons that
are holding the pad in place by hand. They
start above the blower motor on the left side
of the engine bay, and as you move to the
right side, the last one is above the airbox.
Then you will slide the Pad Keeper in
place, lining up the mounting holes to the
studs from which you just removed the
plastic button screws. Once in place, take
the longer screw buttons that come with the
kit and secure the pad keeper in place.
Now I will say with the 964 and the 993,
the new screw button above the fan blower
motor on the left side of the engine bay is
just long enough to not want to fit into place.
If you have sagging engine mounts, you will
probably have enough room, or with enough
work, you might get it squeezed in there.
Valerie's 964 has RS mounts which made
things a bit tight, so I decided it was quicker
to lower that side of the engine about a ΒΌ"
for clearance. This is done by inserting a
long extension and socket up through the
W
ith that, grab a beer, yell
to your wife that you'll
be done in another hour, and
enjoy your time in the garage.
Installation is done in 10-15
minutes at the most. The fit and
finish of this product is very nice.
