Mk1 C70 - Front Strut Brace
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for, and struggling to find, a front strut brace for my 2.0T C70. I've read they can be quite good for the convertibles. With the car sharing DNA with an 850, would the below strut brace fit? https://www.madmotors.co.uk/strut-br...rut-brace.html Thanks, Lee |

You will need to drop the fuse box bolted to the nearside strut tower to fit an 850 brace.
Takes about 30 minutes if you have the right tools!

I cut the two tabs off the bracket and drilled a small hole through the bracket and a small hole into the strut tower and screwed it slightly lower using a small spacer, I will try & take a picture later....
