Wiechers Strut brace.

Does anyone have one fitted with pics?

Mine showed up today and is fouling on the brake servo.

The sticker on it says Escort III & IV Turbo 84-90.

Edit: I've noticed looking at a few engine bays on Google that some people's brake servos sit lower and further towards the bulk head than mine? Maybe this is the problem.

Yeah it looks like my brake servo is sitting to high. Very odd.

Wiechers is a german company. Because of the brake assembly on RHD cars most of the servos sit higher. So strut braces for LHD cars might not fit UK spec cars.

I was just thinking that this morning.
Didnt occur to me when ordering it, even though it came from a UK company.

Might have to do a bit of modifying.
