plastic insulating bushings (two per bracket) &
washers (one per bracket) are present and in
good condition (replace as necessary).
After installation, check for proper insulation
(lack of conductivity) between brackets and
CAC body with a suitable ohmmeter or
continuity tester (buzzer).

install the inner insulating bushings in their
location (lower support).
