This might be a silly question but how do you get the bolts into the bracing bars when there is no access to the other side of that section?

If there is no access, how did I get them in then? There is a big hole there!
The bars have nuts welded to them, you just bolt them up.

No I understood what you had done mate, it's just the bars are obviously bigger than the holes so how do you get them through the holes, then screw the bolts into them with the plate on the front and hold the bars in place behind the metalwork 
I'm also interested in getting one of these myself now. Although I can't use the brace because of my install, I will be able to use the side supports to mount the panels to

Ah right, I just angled them and they just fit through the gap, then straighten them out and bolt it up, feels very solid.

Hi!!!
Nice work!
i'm waiting for the results to buy one, but i'm curious with one thing ... i have the 4WD Leon (Cupra 4) and my rear suspension is diferent from the 2WD version, it's the multi-link, so it will affect more or less the handling?
And another thing, i know that this is not the best topic to ask it, but i buy, the front down struct bar from the Audi S3, with the reference that i founded in the forum and it did not fitted! I think there whose a problem with the bolts, very strange....
Thanks By the attention.

Hi Rob
It looks good, just one thing. I know your car has modified suspension, is the brace going to be tried on a standard car to see if it makes any difference to that?

i dropped him my number and email and he said he'd be in touch but never rang so guess he must have found someone else to give him a hand
OK I did a trackday on Saturday with Mike's bolt in rear brace fitted, handling was awesome, felt super stable under hard cornering, braking, etc. so this means the green light for these to go into production. Mike has already come up with a thinner but stronger aerospace grade seamless stainless steel bar for the production version.
Remember this is a fully adjustable, bolt-in rear strut brace - no drilling required! For your info, Mike is already producing production braces for MG, Skoda plus another make too - so they definately work!
No price yet but I now need numbers of interested parties, can you add your name to the list if you're interested in one, the more the merrier - I think he's doing an initial batch of 10 braces. As soon as I get a production version, I will fit it and take pics with all the carpet and trim in place.
