Front mount on the RSP


Top mounting plate. This is first bolted inside the J31. The front and rear mounts in the photos above are attached to the RSP, which is then lifted and mounted to this plate.



The mounting cover. The oval hole in the left will be covered. I believe the slit at the right was extended a few inches farther down after I took this photo.
