Hi Chris. Many thanks for you message & offering to send me some photos of your strut brace tomorrow. I know that it will need to have a notch out of the O/S strut mount to clear a EARTH point? How much will you be wanting for it? Would it be worth me measuring the centres between the top of the 2 struts or not?
Cheers Chris... Regards...Michael

It will fit both 4 and 6 cylinder cars. I have had it fitted to my 3.2 6 cylinder without issue.

If this doesn't sell drop me a message as I would be interested in it for my 4cyl m43 as the 6 pot brace doesn't fit the 4 pot

Thanks Stephen.

@MickW remove your number off that message and send it to him via a pm as this is an open forum and you have just gave the world your mobile number.
