The strut braces I supply were made by Tarcal, but he no longer exists other than as a monile welding service . So providing the Philloy ones are an exact copy / quality, then you would have to get one of these. Have you any photos of the Philloy ones, as I obviously now need a new supplier, as I only have one of the Tarcal ones left...

The Philloy ones are very similar to the Tarcal one and a lot less money. You should be paying around Ł120-130 for one. Paul from North Yorks can get them as that is where i got mine from.
Here is a pic of one on my old 3 door
