they do fit m8. just loose them wires up you will have to sort the fuse box. very tricky but with a little time and effort you will get it to fit. very worth it in the end.

Begbie you don't have an engine bay, you have a mini nuclear reactor in there. Truffle what did you do? I thought it was only going to take about 5 minutes to fit this

Okay, had a spare bit of time last weekend and decided I was really going to fit it this time. I didn't manage it! The bolts have a non-removable washer on them and it's too large to fit through the strut brace... Should I just take the hint and sell the strut brace?

No, once it was over the first thread I just held the washer with some plyers and screwed the bolt out of the washer. That must be how it got there in the first place An old thread, I know butfor anyone reading this you can't just hit the washer over the first thread and screw it off. This WILL damage the threads. Captive washers are manufactured onto the bolt. The washer is put onto the blank and the threads are formed afterwards so it physically cannot come off.
