The only upper strut brace I can recommend for the Mk1 is an American one, just cant remember the brand. It still allows access to the fuse box without having to remove it first, the only one that does this.

They don't do anything on a focus so you might struggle to find one. The strut tops are so close to the bulkhead there is no flex.
