I have double-checked my bank account back to January 2005, you asked about sending me a cheque on April 6th Scotty_b, I have never cashed any cheques for £98.50 before or after that date so if you sent it, I never got it.

Ah right, seems I only got 2 payments then, maybe getting confused with something else then!
The payments only began at the start of April and I have not cashed any cheques for £98.50 since then.

Guess whta i found in my draw at work! One letter to Rob and a cheque all signed and in the envolope!
Hehe ... ah well, just as well you never sent it then! 
OK so that's all payments refunded then, I haven't a clue about these braces, I'm sorry to everyone but I thought these would done long before now. I can only suggest chasing Mike or giving up all hope.

Well, well ... Mike has been back in touch after a long break ... and I have a production brace in my hands right now!!! Yep, final production versions of these adjustable, removeable, quick-release, bolt-in Leon rear strut braces are now available.
I am going to do a write up this week, with pictures of how it is installed, etc. and the finished article sitting in my boot. It is made of lightweight aircraft-grade stainless steel with quick-release levers, high quality, well made.
I am going to bond mine into place using JB Weld which will add to the strength, you don't have to do this but I won't be removing mine and want the extra strength:
PM or email me if you want one of these, price around £85 I think, Mike will confirm the exact price including delivery.

Well well indeed, I thought this was dead. I'm still interested depending if I like the look of the install pics
so, is there any drilling at all for these braces?
Must say they do look nice.... and if they work as well....

got a mate making me one like this for £0 gonna get it painted black to match the s3 one up front this one looks good though
this one looks good though
There is NO drilling involved to fit this at all - I fitted it this afternoon and the only tool required to fit the brace was a 5mm allen key to tighten the plate bolts!
I'll post a full fitting guide this week, there is a tiny amount of trimming required of the side carpet and plastic trim, but very minor. Including taking step-by-step photos today it took me 1 hour to fit it, so i'd say 30-40mins tops without the photos.

Full writeup this week, but if you want one or just want to speak to Mike about them, his email address is: [email protected]
Here's a couple of pics of the installed brace, finished:
I wanted to let everyone know that I am not under any sort of commission or anything from Mike to pimp up this product, if it was rubbish I would say so, but it's not, from the previous testing (including a track test round Knockhill) I found it to be a very worthwhile modification, very reasonably priced too as it is of high quality (aircraft-grade lighweight stainless steel). Considering there is no Leon rear brace on the market - this one is well worth having, the fact that it is fully adjustable and has quick release handles etc. makes it better than most other non-Leon rear braces on the market.
Big thumbs up from me, big thanks to Mike for making these.

BTW, to remove the bar for carrying stuff in the boot etc., simply loosen off the inner quick-release handles then wind in the outer ones and the whole bar comes out - takes like 20 secs. Re-fitting is the reverse!
how quickly are these going into production and becoming available?
Might have to adjust budgets u see....

Now! Best email Mike for firm details, but I'm sure he said now, the one he sent me is a final production version.
Here is the link to the installation guide I have written for the brace:
