First remove the adhesive backing and route the foam insulation along the edge of the plate.  Next, use Blue Loctite at the base of the threads of the three bolts (do not apply Loctite to whole bolt shank, just the bottom of the threads near the head of the bolt) to secure the bolts to the plate with 5-6 ftlbs (60-72 inch lbs) of torque.  Then place the plate behind the firewall insulation with the bolts sticking through the firewall to the engine side.  Lastly, install the lock nuts onto the bolts to 5-6 ftlbs and you're done.  If you've got help, you can skip the Loctite part if desired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get:\u003c\/strong\u003e  One powder coated 6061 aluminum plate, three bolts and three nuts to secure the plate, and a adhesive-backed gasket that you will apply before installation into your vehicle.  You also get a plug for the hole where the heater bypass cable was routed through the firewall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KruseBuilt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52255318933825,"sku":"6772HBP_B","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/3249\/4913\/files\/1_adb43b70-c79f-4d71-b5e9-4caa9a018655.jpg?v=1790217758","url":"https:\/\/krusebuilt.com\/products\/heater-delete-plate-f100-black","provider":"KruseBuilt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
