yeah it is sideways coz you cant get it straight.. its like a seesaw ehehe
hmmm i dont really want to pull things apart :/
Damn, I dummy fitted one with Matt to see if it would fit on the teg, and the dashpot caused it to foul too.
You could get custom brace mounts made up like I believe Setanta had done...
i think it really is as simple as just removing the dashpots...
but if you really dont want to - then i guess there is only one other option :(
What if you put washes over the shock bolts so that it sits tight again the strut top?Quote:

the above pictures shows the strut brace that i uses which has a much highter clearance, am not sure what brand they are but had them thrown in when i bout tein coil overs from the states
you also have the dashpots removed...
Yeah sorry my mistake because of the haltech aftermarket ecu , i know longer need the factory dash pots ect to help idle and what ever the other was for !!!
tinkerbell.. what did you use to plug up the holes ?
i used a threaded plug, but i had to take the Intake Manifold (IM) off to do so because it required me to tap a new thread in the IM to fit the plug and i didnt want any shavings in the engine...
on another car i used a small aluminuim rectangle to cover the hole with two bolts holding it on with some Hondabond sealing the hole.
BTW - there is only going to be one hole to plug on the IM - the dashpot (the one on teh drivers side) can simply be removed and detached...
just tried removing them both and bolting it down..
still hits the IM... :(
should i take that off too ?? lol
