Upper Strut Brace Fitting Question
#38
Right, bit of a rubbing issue still on the TU engined models (ecu cover again...), and the Ph1 cars bonnet stay bracket rubs the top of the brace - working on shuffling the tube over slightly, but as always, it may catch on some cars.
It's the edges where the bracket is folded over though, so 10 seconds with a ball peen or a file sorts it out - it only just kisses.

Aside from that, bit of testing on the extra's that tie into to the master cylinder to stiffen the bulkhead, they seem to be fine easy enough to adjust - although I've just found that the strut brace is stiff enough that it's possible to push the bulkhead backwards with it and lock the brakes on if you adjust the bolt too much :lol
Good old Peugeot tin foil bulkheads!

Anyhow, I'll make another one up next week with the tweaks and try it on some more phases/models again, just a wee bit of a delay.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.
