Strutbrace.....

[DanT]

Hey guys,

Just surfing around and saw this on the bay...

Just wondering if anyone has got one and noticed a difference aside from probably looking good under the bonnet?

I was under the impression that because the Clio struts on the 197/200 sit close in towards the bulk head of the chassis that this in effect does the same job as a strut brace does.

So what do we all think?

Im thinking of using it as a harness bar nothing more

You strapping yourself to the bonnet Woody? :tongue_smilie:

I fancy one of these, £100 though? I'd rather eat my own sock.

 

[Ed...]

Not worth that i thought we were talking rear.

Had one of these in my 182, did nothing but looked nice... Don't recall them being £100 either!!

 

[DanT]

Hmmm yes would look nice and yes is indeed for the front which was why I flagged it up as interesting as hadn't seen one before!

I don't think the 197/200s really need one do they?

The struts seem to be mounted very close to the bulkhead, would've thought that's pretty damn stiff...

As above, bulkhead and screen are so close there can't be much flex in the strut tops anyway.

This one is more expensive because it is adjustable.

Can you even see the strut tops on a 2005on Clio?



I reckon it would be pretty much hidden

 

[DanT]

Yes true it would be hidden I guess! I won't be bothering with one of these now

Bulkhead ftw!!!

 

[Cannit]

Like the pipes ralphy! Custom or bought?

Cheers!

Actually got them from Jase, but I think they were a semi-off-the-shelf product
