its about a 3 or a 4 at the most..
has anyone ever posted up how to install one 
Don't think so.
i found the hardest apart was getting the ecu cover off to solder in the ECU.
The only tip i can think of is get all the nuts in loosely on the cradle before you tighten any up.

Good point! cake the ECU cover off then undo the nuts holding the ecu in place and have a look at the metal cover - check if u have security screws - they may well be 5 pointed torx style screws. Ithey are then u have to drill them out or make a slot in them to use a screwdriver or maybe ask someone at the lex garage to take the screws out for you.
YOU WILL NOT FIND THE SCREWDRIVER BIT IN THE SECURITY BIT SETS U CAN BUY IN THE SHOPS its a torx plus security bit if ur interested
Don't they need to put on in a certain order ?
(the cradle nuts that is )
(the cradle nuts that is )
the bolt holes on the cradle are not 100% accurate as the cradle is hand made - but its about 98% accurate, i found the bolt that goes into the block slightly out so for me it was best to install that one first
does anyone have the fitting instructions they could email me my email address is waynejordan02@aol.com.
thanks
