HEY PPLS

mm having a bit of trouble with my strut brace...

upon ariving a strut brace that suposivly came out of a wrecked fto, i tryed fittign it (having done it to a few cars now..) and i have run into two problems!

1) it touches and holds down the cap on the brake fluid container

2) to make it fit i would have to move the electricle connector in teh back middle of the fire wall

what i need to know is, can i leave it sitting on the brake flujid container

and is it okay for me to jsut relocate the big electricle thing (sensor or wtich?)

i can leave hte rest of the wires there no problems

Odd - I have seen a couple of FTO strut braces, and they have not gone near the brake fluid cap. Or that electrical connector on the firewall for that matter.

Any pictures of it? Any idea of brand etc?

All the one i've seen so far are very close to brake fluid cap, but i don't remember its close to electricle connector.

I have the standard FTO GPvR strut brace and it does sit very close to the brake fluid cap. It doesn't quite touch it, and you can get it off with a bit of difficulty though.

Does yours look similar?
