So I bought a new condenser(mine was VERY clogged), and I bought the mounting kit from the Fiero Store and it didn't exactly come with instructions..(my old ones were TOAST)

Do I use the new retainers like this This images is larger than 153600 bytes. Click to view. or like this This images is larger than 153600 bytes. Click to view..

I assume its the former but I am not sure as it looks like there is the imprint of the latter on the bracket...

Also, how on EARTH do I get them tight? How tight should they be? Should I just use locktite?

In case you are interested, those nuts are called 'well nuts'
The 'nut' is in the narrow end so the bolt goes in from the wide end and as you tighten it up, it draws in and deforms the rubber outwards on the other side to clamp the metal plat it's inserted into between the deformed side and the wide side.
So basically, whichever way makes sense for that operation to work.

------------------
Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!

Side note, I took this bracket off and sanded then painted it but I did not take a picture before I took it off so I forgot how it goes on. I cant seem to find a picture of it anywhere.

Is this correct? Or does it go in the top hole? Either way it requires me to bend it a fair bit...
