I'll be getting one of these in a day or two. It comes with two brackets. Am I installing these back to back? Do I have to drill hole in one of them? It seems straight forward, but why two brackets?
Thanks.
Thanks.

An original style Doggie collar only has one bracket. Once you remove the two bolts on the A/S assembly, it will only go on one way.....

Here is a picture from the link at Kermatdi.com:
Not sure if that comes accross, but here's the link:

It shows two brackets, the one on the left with a hole A and B, and the one on the right. It says to line them up together...? Not sure what that means. It seems straightforward with only the parts. The directions are confusing, or I'm an idiot.

You'll only receive one bracket. Black bracket for labeling purposes.

The black one is just a template to help figure out which way it goes on since it isn't symmetrical, but it's close enough that it could be confusing.

Yes, just one "C"-shaped piece. The instructions included are good and will make installation clear. The fix works well, but when installed, it takes extra time to remove the upper CAC hose when you need to get to things underneath, like the timing belt. This can get annoying if you have to do it repeatedly, as when playing with the torsion value setting.

Thanks everyone. Got the collar/parts delivered at work yesterday. It was straightforward, I installed it in the parking lot before driving home.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

When you bolt it down, it's tight.

I've had one for years. It holds on tighter than the clip I removed IMO. No problems.
The hose has a metal end on it that inserts into the intake flap. So it's already pretty stiff; the doggie collar just has to "grab" part of it to be really secure.
