Kev.O Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 part number 2 is the one im having problems fitting on my uk spec That's down to the TRAC motor isn't it? I've removed mine so I never had any trouble fitting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 What is that washer for then?? Im thinking its to get extra leverage to push the brace closer to the master cylinder?? Looking at the picture I would say it's needed if either no strut brace is fitted or no OEM black mount is fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Actually looking at my install again, shouldnt the silver nut be on the other side of the bolt against the red thing, rather than on the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put mine in the same place as you have. The manual doesn't mention this nut, well not that I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Its not likely to fall out or anything daft like that is it the way its mounted?? If anything now that there's two nuts together, there should be less chance of the stud working loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I suppose so, but the ally washer that should have gone on the strut bolt isnt flush with the red thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I suppose so, but the ally washer that should have gone on the strut bolt isnt flush with the red thing. Won't it be a few mins work to undo the stud, remove the washer and simply redo the stud back up tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
