iv just had enough, i really have, the first one i bought i didnt know that there would be a difference, the second one i bought because there was a picture of a 8v car with a strut brace, untill i got them item wnet back to the listing and in a tenth of a mm wrighting it says similar to this one, and now that idiot expire has sold me a strut brace saying that it fits the corsa 8v and it had an angle too but this one dosnt even fit either, for starters it hits the hinge the the rod that hold the bonnet up attachs to,
iv got his number but i dont want to phone him up because ill end up going mad and shouting at him, what would you do? im sure its a nova one

Was it not even anywhere near fitting? When i got one for my old Corsa, it was a nightmare to get on, had to really hammer the thing on as the actual mounting brackets weren't angled correctly. Or is yours hitting on the engine?

Thats what mine was like. you get one side on and stick the bolts on loosely, try to put the other end on and it was no where near at all! Had to just keep bending and whacking it with a big hammer till it fitted Got there in the end.
Mine was second hand, if it was brand new i'd have sent it back.

1.4 8v SRI he would of meant mate, different inlet.
SPI means no go for strut brace, unless its bodged on. The SPI induction box thing gets in the way.

i thought you were just wondering whether they actually made an 8v strut, not a specific
good luck anyway

im going to make this simple
the only strut brace that will fit single point injection corsas is the one that ive shown you in that pic
mainly because of the inlet setup (black plastic throttle housing)

Quoted again for you to understand
Sell any other strut braces you have, the one that kurt has shown you is the only one that you can buy that will fit.
