Help With Strut Brace!
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?

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.

Re: Help With Strut Brace!
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!marshboy wrote:I've got a cushy one as I call it lol they are a nightmare to fit!
