fitting strut brace

[ZS B19LYB]

hiya guys was just wondering when fitting a strut brace does it just fit on to the exising holes, nuts and bolts on the suspension leg or do you have to drill new holes. i havent a clue but from what i can see when i place it where it is supposed to go it fits on the existing holes any help would be good thanks guys

They use the existing turret fixings.

make sure you car is parked on a flat level surface, then its just a simple case of undo the top suspension bolts, put the brace in place then tighten the nuts back up

if you have a mk11 there is a bottel in the way off the strut brace if you lift this out its on a rubber holder i cut mine in half and then fitted the bottle so it is about 1" lower it doesnt rub then and the strut brace fits on to the bolts ok got mine from banshee for my old 120

I always thought you couldn't put a strut brace on a ZS because the engine was in the way?

I've just fitted a strut brace from banshee and its pretty straight forward only awkward bit was setting up so there is plenty clearance. I had to readjust mine a bit due to a slight bit of vibration.
