Strut brace clearance issue
Another post....
I've got an HKS Suction kit fitted (TDI Powertuning in Essex; top people) and when I came to mounting my MUZ strut brace I couldn't fit it because it was touching my shiny air intake tubing!
I don't wanna start bashing a groove into the air intake, anyone got any suggestions?
Ta.
P.S. Anyone else had any problems fitting MUZ's polished injector cover? It sucks, it leaves about 3mm to thread the bolt on! Gonna have to modify that shim...

It's a simple shim adjustment.
We have 2 different size shims because the stud length seems to vary slightly on the occassional car. It's close tolerances around that area so as little as a mm can make all the difference. Email me the precise length of yours when you get a moment and I'll see if I have any shorter ones here.

Have had parts via them in the past but that's all.

(BTW; Front lower x-brace is the absolute truth! Its sorted out the steering so much, I have no problems with exceeding 200kph!)
