Bollox,bollox and more bollox,self tappers are not worth are curse,only a person who's fitting a strut brace for looks would use them.Use proper nuts and bolts to do the job correctly,think about it,you;re trying to strenghten up the front of the car,so big force's are going to be put thru the strut brace,so for it to do its job properly it has to be held securely bolted in place.Use self tappers for holding on youre mud flaps!!!Regards Micky

I totally agree with that! I really wouldn't use self tapping screws Nuts and bolts are more aggro to fit but I self tappers will be a proper bodge IMO
