Default 2014 Rubicon Electronic Disconnect flip??

Sorry if there is an answer for this out there, i didn't find one. So i have a 2014 Rubicon with electronic disconnects. I dont have a debris guard that i can see, so i guess i don't need to cut it. But, does someone known the exact size stabilization bolt i will need for when i flip the motor and bolt into new location? And if so, can i just go pick one
up at home depot or somwhere like that? Thanks

I used a grade 10.9 M10x100 bolt, 1.5" long spacer with .5" OD and .39" ID, and .75" long thicker spacer with .39" ID.

I found the bolt size, ended up working fine so far.

Now i have another issue though, i have a 2014 rubicon with a manual. I was able to flip my edisco upward by unbolting the sway bar a bit from the frame, it dropped to give me enough clearance. But now that it's bolted back in place, the edisco and the little sealed electrical box is resting on the brake line. I have seen other rubicons without this issues so im guess it was changed in 13 or 14. Anybody know how hard it would be to bend the brake lines about a half to 3/4 inch.. with fluid in the lines. I dont have a lot of experience with brake lines or bending them. Was thinking about buying this tool from amazon https://www.amazon.com/Eastwood-Brak...ng+Tool+Pliers. Or does anyone else have a solution for this..... OR should i just leave it alone?

I don't have an answer for you, but I would not recommend leaving things touching. I flipped mine years ago and didn't secure the wire loom well enough. It ended up 'resting' on the disconnect and the bottom of the radiator and there was enough movement to eventually chew through just about every wire in the bunch. You don't want that kind of wear on a brake line for sure.

I went ahead and put the edisco back to factory position. I honestly dont like it much anyway, so if it breaks oh well, i will just get the mod from offroad evolution soi i can disconnect it anytime. Thanks
