I still have my Cusco upper strut brace for sale. It was fitted to my 160 SR for about 8 months, but i think it will fit other K12's.

Please PM or email me.

If you do a search for Cusco strut brace, i posted a thread with lots of pictures of it in the forums.
You dont have to use the brake cylinder stopper part of the brace for it to fit though.

If it doesnt require me re-positioning my brake fluid bottle then i will pay my highest offer of £75.

[Bmx_Bandit]

Ok £75.00 is a deal. It just taking up space in my flat so i guess it should go.

[Bmx_Bandit]

Hey.

it's now [email protected].

Ta mate

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Hey mate.

Got your payment. I will post the brace from work tomorrow with our couriers, Buisness Post.

Thanks Simon

 

[tse_adam]

cool, cheers mate. if i want to change filter for service and MOT etc, do i have to remove the strut brace?

oh one stupid final question, do i just screw it on? cos i heard some say there is like a unique way of putting it on in order for the strut brace to work to its full effect.

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

You should get it on Tue. Buisness Post don't deliver on Sat.

You do need to remove it to change the filter, but only the alloy brace itself, not the parts that are fitted to the strut towers. It takes just a couple of mins.

And it just bolts on using your bolts that are already on the car.

Simon

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Hope you got everything ok mate. Let us know.

 

[tse_adam]

i fitted it yesterday and it looks real good, notice the car is a bit more stable round corners but i cannot work out what the red metal plate does and if i actually need it.
Lastly it seems it has completely stopped access to the left hand side headlamp. is it like that with yours? say if they need to change a faulty bulb and replace filter on my service they will have to the take out the whole thing including the blue plate on the left side. think i have installed it right?

but still a very happy bunny dont worry :upside:

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Yeah, it will make access to the lamps a bit tricky. The red stop disk is to pust up against the brake cylinder stopper (just behind and left of the engine) i'm not sure if that was only on the 160SR though?
Either way it's not a massive problem if it's fitted or not. It really does stop understeer in the dry though
