I just installed my B&M dual bend and think I put it in backwards. The lower bend bends toward me and the upper bend goes straight up. I was sure that was right, but now when it is in first gear the top of the **** points away from me, and when it is in third gear it point straight up. In neutral it points slightly forward. It seems like it should be reversed, anyone know?

| Poor depiction(sp) but it helps

 

If it doesn't feel right, switch it around and see if that is how it is supposed to feel.

 

it should be bending to the REAR on the first bend
then goes stright up

 

from what you've desdribed yes you have it on the wrong may..i'm .80% sure on this 1

 

the angle of the bend should point towards the back seat not the ash tray

 

Well the first bend bends toward the rear then it bends back up. For some reason its still pointing forward. I guess im just going to reverse it. The rubber o-rings that are supose to be some poor attempt at a washer are crap IDK WTF B&M was thinking on that one. Im going to custom make some rubber or silicone ones so might as well reverse it while im at it.

 

You can only put it on two ways ..

./ <-- that end goes towards the back of the car
|

.\ <-- if you put it like that, with the bend going towards the front, it would be Way off.
