top strut brace - Piggy - 12-09-2014
Forgotten the make.
Had it ready to fit for ages...but I cant get the clearance with the 2.1...and now with adjustable dampers.
£35 posted takes it

RE: top strut brace - ginge191 - 12-09-2014
Fits all models??
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 12-09-2014
Er no.
Wouldnt think it would go round a tmic! Lol
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 14-09-2014
Bump, no one?
RE: top strut brace - powerandtorque - 14-09-2014
Roughly how high is the bar above the line of the strut tops? Just to work out whether it'll clear on an HDi, particularly with possible future intercooler pipework in mind.
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 14-09-2014
Duno for sure as I cant fit it due to height of the 2.1 engine.
I can try and fit this week with mani removed if you like?
RE: top strut brace - powerandtorque - 14-09-2014
Just lay it on a flat bit of ground so the ends that bolt down to the struts are on the ground and measure the distance between the bar and the ground - should give a close enough idea.
RE: top strut brace - Slam Wagon - 15-09-2014
Looks like a very similar design to the omp one so should clear a hdi fine.
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 15-09-2014
Will check later.
Anyone know of one with better clearance? I tried one for a xud tmic and it fouled the gti MC.
RE: top strut brace - ash23 - 15-09-2014
can you not make your own so it suits the 2.1 perfect?
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 15-09-2014
May have to. If no one buys this, it will get chopped up to make one!
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 15-09-2014
This may answer your question:

take a look at mine you recon that would fit? id sell you that and just make another up.
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 15-09-2014
Yeah probably would actually.
You running a GTi M/C?
RE: top strut brace - ash23 - 15-09-2014
id assume so as the estate runs 266mm brakes as stock so would need the bigger m/c ?
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 15-09-2014
Duno, random MCs they are
RE: top strut brace - Toms306 - 15-09-2014
Nah, only the later ph3's (~X onwards) got the GTi MC, the older ones with 266s had a 22mm one. No idea how big the phase 1 was to compare though.
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 15-09-2014
He only has a ph1 front end tom
Oh and my ph3 W reg had a MC as standard, 1.6 petrol meridian!
RE: top strut brace - Toms306 - 15-09-2014
But its on a ph2 estate isn't it? So wont be the GTi MC.

Yeah I would assume it isnt.
Whats the clearance like with the MC you have Ash?
RE: top strut brace - ash23 - 16-09-2014
iirc it is a 22mm one on there actually. not sure on clearance think theres a few piks when i first made it in my project thread.
RE: top strut brace - Piggy - 18-09-2014
Anyone?
Otherwise it gets chopped and welded up to make me a custom one
