Ok call me stupid but I have a atrut brace and wanna fit it but am not sure how to do it...

Firstly there are no holes so
A) how do I drill the holes as in do I remove the wheels and plastic stuff under the wheel arches after Ive drilled a hole?

B) what size bolts do I need?
C) the coil pack seems to be in the way so do I just lower it?

Sorry for being stupid just wanna do it correct.

The coil pack you just turn upside down - its only one screw, I know this as I've done it already in preperation for fitting a brace myself but like you have no idea how to do it properly :oops: :lol:

Thanks mate, yeah thought so with that but wanted to check...

I am assuming rightly or wrongly that you pop it into position, drill d holes, take the plastic under wing stuff out pop d bolts through and tighten em?

Just hope someone confirms the best way to do it.

thats the way mate. use 6mm or 8mm bolts depending on your brace and big washers underneath to spread the load better

And make sure you rust proof everything as you are drilling the strut turrets.
