Bought myself an OMP strut brace as id heard about the problems people had with the Cusco ones. Well the OMP ones not straight forward either, seems like it needs to go straight through the brake reservoir. If anyone knows how to fit one of these or move the the reservoir and relocate it (think thats whats gonna need to happen), could they let me know please?

Does this picture help??

Sorry but i have no clue either.. :/

Not the actual writing. Just the picture of how its fitted.. :/

Thanks for trying Oggy, I know how they bolt to the strut tops, the nearside goes on easy just cant work out the offside. The pic you've put on is from who I bought it from via ebay so think i'll email them to see if they can shed any light on it.

I would ask them for a written guide if possible??

Just emailed them so hopefully i'll hear somthing by monday or tuesday.

I've got a cushy one as I call it lol they are a nightmare to fit! I had to remove the wipers top and bottom scuttle Pannels headlights fit the brace then spent 3 hrs cutting and modifying scuttle Pannels to fit around the thing!!! Ggggrrrrrr never again lol

No mate not for a left hooker. Bolting to the struts is straight forward cos it only uses the two towards the front not all three. Problem is its just a straight bar so needs to go through the brake reservoir not over it like the cusco one. Wish it could of been as easy as my focus, that was just a five minute job!

i was think ing of one but dont think i could be bothered with the issues fitting it

Thought i'd post a pic to show what line the strut brace takes to see if anyone can come up with any ideas!?!

Looked at mine again mines close but the shape allows it to miss. Shot in the dark its not for a mk6.5 on cus people call them mk7 regularly???
