"Arie pronk" strut brace
#1
Hello

Hello.

Firstly admin please move this to the relevant area

I would like to warn people against these strut braces.

As allurung as they may be they do not fit correctly. These were advatised to fit all 306's from phase 1 to 3 with relevant clearance for bonnet stays etc.
These were also advertised to fit all but dturbo model cars and even featured a cut out for hdi engines with the 406/c5 top elbow.

These braces foul in two positions. The first is more dangerous then the second. The brace itself actually pushes the master cylinder down by 10mm. The vibration caused by this will eventually chaffe through the bottle aswell as stress the seals on the reservior mount.

The 2nd place is the cut out for the top pipe. Not enough room as been accomadated for so when accelerating hard the top pipe fouls the strut brace.

£120 for an item that does not correctly fit is outrageous and when presented with the information is very rude.

After a brief argument he decided to state on his own page these are only for european 306's not uk spec.
