Has anyone let the seller know about the issue with the filing that has to be done on that peg?
I've been talking with them over the past few days. If someone could take some pics/measurements of their driver's side peg before they file it down (full length, and silver machined section), it might help my argument.
Currently they're claiming the peg is supposed to be 27mm total, with the machined part for the bracket being 17mm. I don't know how that would ever fit on this car. Even when I had it at ~25mm it still didn't go in, even with a lot of grunting. I filed it down a hair more to ~24mm and the bracket literally snapped into place with zero effort.
would either of you or someone else be willing to make an official parts list or tips to put in the front of the thread? I honestly want to be able to open this thread and see exactly what I need order/prepare for.
I actually took pics of everything I picked up from ACE, but I didn't make my own bracket (just had the washers). Not the cleanest solution here:

4 M5x10 for the top condenser--though the top hole was closer to 8mm on mine, so I had to double-up on washers. Would've gotten 2 10mm and 2 8mm if ACE had any 8mm:

I used 2 set screws for the bottom condenser--in hindsight, slightly worried about the mechanical stability:

6 of 3/16x1 1/4 washers (again, had to double up on the top, if the top screws fit perfectly I could've gotten away with 4):

Honestly, given the amount of trouble I had with the IC I'm glad I dragged it into the store to try out hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some variability in the length of screws required.
