What make of strut brace is it? If it's the standard 20VT Sparco one then it's a straight-forward fit with one bolt off each strut to to remove and re-fit.

If it's the OMP type with a 4 bolt fixing then I think you need to reposition some wiring blocks roundabout the brake fluid reservoir area,not a major task though smile .

I thought there was a Truffle strut brace "how to"! I never thought I would say that!

I think you'll find sir Nobster that I have overcome that particular gremlin and that the fitting guide in the How-To section is actually mine laugh

(it goes something like: undo bolts, place strut brace, tighten back up bolts, Cross thread, be told it's to dangerous to dive to the garage to have them re-threaded, call for a low loader, empty wallet)
