I have the narrow 8.8 from factory five. I also have the standard 11.65 brake kit from FFR. I read through the manual and also watched the (10 yr old) FFR video on YouTube. I'm trying to figure out if I need to "remove the c clip" as the video suggests to add the "caliper mounting braket" to both axles. The bracket in the video is different than what I have have in my kit. In fact, I have 2 different sets of brackets and am unsure how or where they go. I can't find in the manual where it even says to do this step. I'm sure there is a simple explanation to this, just don't know what it is.

Looks like the same brackets I got with my brake kit from them. I did not do narrow width but this shows how the brackets went on my 8.8. I don't think the earlier brackets had the cutout allowing you to slide it on without removing the C clip and axels.189370189371189372189373
