I ended up using some Porsche nuts from my parts bin and they torqued down nicely. I think the nuts provided with the Volvo mounts are just cheap mild steal, not hardened.

Thanks Roger, as well I over torqued them so my fault. How does grade 8 compare to OEM nuts?

Did everyone that's listing a cross brace clearance value make sure their cross brace is dead straight? It might be a useful proxy measurement for evaluating MM condition but only if the braces are straight....

I have my stock brace but its bent, so I can't confirm the distance with the stock brace. But the stock brace does sit higher than my 928 motorsport brace.
In then end I don't think it is going to be a big issue, a change in bolt on the fuel rail cover should do the trick. The volvo mounts are set in place and all buttoned up.
On a side note I can't wait to see how she drives with the new mounts and the derlin rack bushings.

It's going to drive great. The bushing changes makes a huge difference! I have solids in my car, but if you had the rubber ones before, the delrin will still be like night and day.
