Turner Rear Strut tower bar

I purchased the Turner rear strut tower bar for my E82. it comes with zero instructions. i assumed this would bolt up to a set of holes that already exist, but the more I moved it around to find a position, I had no luck aligning holes.

Does anyone have one of these they have installed already? if so could you lead me down the correct path to mount this?

My27KGame sorry about that missing info on our site. But yes, this bar requires drilling and install isn't for the "faint of heart" for that reason.

I just checked and at this time Turner does not have an install template for the bar. Very sorry about that.

I went to install this the other day, and the bar ends are both RH threads. One end needs to be a LH for it to be adjustable like the way it was designed. Did i get a bad bar are they all this way? ECSTuning

All our current stock is that way. Per Turner adjustment is done by removing the bolt holding the end to the mount and rotating from there.

That is a simple redesign that really should happen.
