You cant mount it to the strut tops on the rear - this has no bearing on the stiffness of the shell..Quote:

will f what is your problem this lad's air con guy not a mechanic and he built this in his back garden can you not give a little bit respect for that. in ideal world gareth wood have every think perfect. but were in the real word and i think he do well to say this came out his shed.
Going by the smiley i dont think he meant anything bad by it, just giving advice. Hes got the strut brace mounted on 2 rubber mounts that are designed to flex. Best way would be a bar welded between the metal of the turrets (like in mikes 'how to' in the articles)Quote:
