Why not call them to ask them what is needed for the installation.

BTW search this site and you will find the electronic version of the Service Manual (pdf files.) THis should help you in the installation.

Charles and friends did one in the parking lot. check the pics on the se forum under road atlanta hpde and follow silvereights entrys for the pictures . He (and others) proved it can be done by ordinary guys without a lift
