Default Fitting front strut brace ??

Is it just a case of drilling 3 holes on the top each turret then nut and bolting?

Thanks

Yes and No.

Best way to do it is to fit the strut brace in place and mark the holes, drill and apply rivnuts that way you won't have to jack the car up everytime to remove it

If you don't know what a rivnut is then it's one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RIVNUT-NUT...item4ac19555f0

Good idea Brammer, I should be fitting my front and rear braces soon, so I think I'll go down this route

Cheers
