I will get a pic from my 16v.

Think about it mine looks identical to yours neo :huh:

Cheers Adam, that would be most helpful. Having removed the brace for the time being the bay is looking a bit bare. :undecided:

This is just a guess so dont slate me but....

When i had my VTS and fitted a strutbrace i tighterned it wrong and couldnt shut the bonnet, i.e i had the tension pushing the struts as apposed to pulling them together.. i may be chatting out my arse tho  :tongue:

I haven't even got as far as drilling holes as I didn't see the point if I couldn't fit the brace. Will see what Adams pic's look like. I am planning on taking this to the track so it would be a nice wee addition to the 280mm brakes I fitted.

Neo here you go,




Thanks Adam.

That is really weird. It does look identical to mine. Yet mine is out by a country mile, I fitted a replacement master cylinder but it was like for like. That and it contacts the bonnet reinforcement. Hmmmn, I'm confused. Will have another bash over the weekend. Might have to break out the tapping stick... :evil:

I have a carbon bonnet so that might be why it doesn't touch the bonnet?

If you need any more pictures just give me a shout.

Possibly, good excuse. Yes darling, my strutbrace wouldn't fit, so I bought a carbon fibre bonnet :grin:
Think even a fiberglass one would be beyond me just now.  :undecided:
