It's amazing how you can look at something and never think about it, but then sometimes look at something and light bulbs go off in your head on how to make it better.
On closer look just now, when I took that 5 inch ding in my driveshaft cover (right above said C channel brace), if the C channel would have been on top, it would have stopped the dent from happening. As it stands now, the dent also has the cover contacting a protected line. I need to remove the cover and beat the dent out.
My salesman, that installed my BH, is out fishing now so I will have to email him.

Brandi, glad it looks ok to do on yours too. I had to notch the flange edges to get by the bolts holding the angle bracket. Only lacks about 1/4". That driveshaft cover is sheet metal? If nothing got crushed under it your ok in that area. Where its critical that the cover not bear against stuff is up front where the hard hyd lines for the P/S cyl go in. One of my hyd lines got bent causing the rigid to flex connection to rub against the inside of that shield. Consequently the slight movement of the P/S cyl flexed the rigid tubing and it cracked in the bend. It was a high pres leak but soon enuf youre dead in the water or field or woods unable to steer.
Good luck with your mod.
