Didn't even get to check the hose connections, because there's no use putting those on if the can isn't supported.

I guess I need to run off to the parts store to find a longer bolt tomorrow...
I pointed this out (To Chase) in the begining when I seen the bracket and mounting location. There were quite a few people that had their bolt strip for this reason (using a different brand can but same style bracket and mounting location), mind did and I had a 2011. This is the only reason I would not buy the Apex can, I wish it had a different mounting location.
