From what i can see you will need
1 x 4700 Motor Mount Bulkhead
1 x 4701 LR Bulkead
1 x 4702 Motor Mount Brace
1 x 4703 Upper Pod Plate
1 x 4704 Chassis Brace
2 x 4705 Front Bulkhead
1 x 4707 Side Sprig Retainer
1 x 4708 Damper Tube
1 x 4709 Damper Tube Shaft
1 x 8828 Cup Set
1 x 31322 Arm Mount Bushing
I think that is all (someone correct me if there is anything missing)
Kind regards,
Chris

Where are you getting your kit from? I can't find it anywhere? Has Associated even started shipping them. AMain doesn't even have it listed?

I noticed that the rear lower pod plate got a different part number.
What is the diff ?
R5.2 part number is 4692, R5.1 is 8511
