I see there's been a bit of interest in fitting a front upper strutbrace. Could anyone give any advice on the fitting of the OMP alloy brace (part no ma1694)
to be fitted to 2.0 8v cupra.
first i take it i have the right one,second after placing the brace across the suspension turrets it looks like it would sit tight on the brake fluid reservoir on one side and the expansion bottle on the other,or maybe it could be turned around to go across the cam cover as opposed to being tight against the bulkhead.
look forward to hearing from you all....

my 16v has it very tight against the brake reservoir and bonnet sensor for the alarm, it had to be rotated 90 degrees in its holder for it all to fit snug.
