have a look at the end of my strut brace and see how you think it could attach to the rear struts,

it will just bolt on top but that just seems ridiculas why have the deep mountings, why not just a hole to bolt through it onto the top of the shock? there must be a better way!?

hopefully someone has one like this and can clear this mystery up

i know what you mean, but it will only seem to just sit on top the wrong way round, not go over the top of the shock like it should

take the bolt off the top of the damper, then put the strut brace on and then put the nut back on.

as easy as that.

same strutbrace as mine OMP right?

Its the right way up in the 1st pic, looks like the OMP i had.
Take damper nut off (using mole grips to hold rod and a spanner to undo the nut / airgun), put brace on and air gun the bolts back on (as the rod can spin and you can't use a spanner and mole grips)
