I screwed up the first set of Z-brackets by using Van's instructions.

I REMEMBER IT!!! I still use the old buggered up Z brackets for different things now that I am on the finish and FWF kits. So, it was not a total waste. But it can be frustrating at times. Sometimes the instructions are so vividly clear and detailed and other times........... Part of the experience and learning I guess. You will live through it. Endurance. Even keel. Stick-to-it-tive-ness. do not archive.
