PVD expensive? never

I bet if you ordered the two they would be the same, I cant see the powercap sticking up much more than the inlet manifold on an Ecotec.

The MTech brace PVD sell comes right out to completely clear the Powercap.

But am I right in thinking that many other braces fit the 2ltr?

I ordered one off PVD a fair bit back for a 2ltr in CorsaB and the bonnet doesn't shut! I think you do a different one now, this one is red.

The MTech one is only supposed to fit cars using MTech engine mounts.

What difference it makes I don't know, but we had one back from a guy that had made his own mounts, yet we've sold plenty others with no complaints.

Best thing to do is try a few strut braces out on the car.

Mine is on M-Tech mounts.

I dont think it is a M-Tech brace TBH though, it catches the bonnet anyway and that was with the 1ltr in, I haven't had chance to try it with 2ltr.

If it still catches bonnet I'll just cut some away, no big deal.
