Default Fitting compression struts

Im planning on fitting an OPi external oil pump to my zetec'd series 2, i've heard the pump sits where the original S2 anti roll bar drops to the TCA, does anyone have any pics of compression struts fitted to the chassis, im not to keen on the idea of cutting into chassis legs without seeing someone elses set up first, or is it possible to weld a bracket to the chassis leg itself?

I fitted the same on my Cossied pug 205 and that solved the problem. It might be worth looking at the sort of cossie comp struts available and see if they might fit unless you can get some

I've got a pair that have come off a mk4 escort, just need to see how they're attached to the chassis itself

You would fit some of these to the shell.
