I just bought a pair of Mine's baffles from japan

Its ment to be direct replacement from what i know. I received 4 sponges and 2 plates

Online there is a guide how to install em mine's baffles but no sponge is mentioned and they have also mentioned the stock separator to be replaced when installing the mine's baffles?

unless im Reading it wrong or they have missed Something.

Has anyone had trouble install em?

Do i have to do some altering?? So it fits

Also when you place the sponges in the cam cover even without the stock separator the plate doesn't sit where its ment to..

Dont mentioned the stupid installation guide on the net its shit.

Since this is an out dated post im sure you would have found the answer.. but i just did this myself over the weekend and thought i might detail what i did as i was confused in the same way.

I took out the stock baffling and the mesh separator, then put the sponges in laying flat (not on their sides, you have to compress the sponges to fit but once they are flat and inside the cam cover everything fits as it should) in the cam cover as far back to the breather holes as i could get it. Then put a thin layer of gasket maker around the edges where the factory sealant was, pushed down the mines baffles and screwed them back in place then ran the sealant around the edges once more. I've still got them off the car as im sending them to paint but i hope this helps anyone else who was stuck.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
