not really something you'd write a guide for matey.

jack up car, unbolt top mounts and let the struts drop down so you can gain access to the turrets.

Place strut brace over turrets, drill holes where required, and bolt it up.

Refit top mounts, and enjoy. the end.

Should be a simple task and take less than an hour to do with simple tools and a drill.
