Problem with alum chassis brace

[DemonRC1]

I just got my alum chassis brace in and the dam thing is too long. I got it screwed in the chassis but the bolt hole for the steering plate does not line up. It extends past the steering plate hole slightly. The center of the brace's hole is right at the edge of the hole in the steering plate. I got it in but I had to sit on the car and push the front shock tower forward with all the force I could muster. Anybody else encounter this?

Sounds like your chassis might be tweaked a bit. Bend the chassis back so it lines up and tighten er up.

The plastic one fits right in and doesn't look bent. It kinda made me wonder what the deal was.

Ya ur right moo. That was it. IT wasn't apparent untill u put a straight edge on it.

I dunno....but my MT is BRAND NEW and i had the exact same problem, i just loosened the top plate and started all the bolts then tightened them down bit by bit and it fits fine now.
