As far as the manufacture, how do they know that you (or someone else) did not modify the mounting locations?

Just a thought.
In this case there was nothing that was modified that would have done this. I even ran this by Unique and they agreed. Stock motor mounts in the Unique locations. Stock side-pipe frame locations put in by Unique. stock Unique primary pipes. Unique later said said their jig has been modified a few times over the years. That is not my fault or concern. At my job, when we modify jigs we mark it for the aircraft number and forward and configure it so we can use the same jig for earlier and later configurations. The whole purpose of a jig is so you can build a part accurately and consistently the same way every time! Trust me, Unique knew my car and year clearly when I was ordering them. They told me what to expect and that is all I wanted or expected!
