hi can any body help, i have a 1982 16i with the early type front suspension set up (two bolt type).i am thinking of fitting a front strut brace to go with my nice shiny new suspension,the trouble is i can only find a two bolt one that is fitted to a xr3,will this one fit, if so who makes them,i've found an omp one but does anybody else make them,thanks

 

Hi mate the XR3 one will fit, its a bit tight around the heater fan shroud but it will fit

I have a OMP one on mine, Sparco does them too i think

 

thanks mate, ive also been offered a rear strut brace,is it worth fitting this or not,

 

Not sure mate, some people say theyre great, some say theyre a waste of money, i havent got one myself but with my go kart suspension i probrably wouldnt notice any improvement

 

i got one made up in germany, costs about £120 all in

 

£120!

Looks nice though mate how good is the fitment? is it tight against the airbox? (for the heater fan)

 

Its sweet mate, just rests in there really well, i dont have to push the box back at all, made to order, think about £35 of that was postage mate

but its deffinately different to others i have seen from say sparco and the like
