Ultra Racing rear boot strut brace

[LiamRS197]

I've just purchased a second hand UR (Ultra Racing) rear boot strut brace, unfortunately the item came with no fitting instructions or bolts. I was wondering if anyone can provide any guidance on what exactly I may need and how best to go about it.

On first inspection it looks as if I will have to cut into the boot lining either side and then have a nut and bolt holding the upper supports into place. I know a couple of people on the forum have run these, any guidance would be great

That's right mate. Bit tricky to fit actually. I could get you some pics if that would help?

If you could that would be great mate, I've seen a picture online of a nice flush fit I'll try and find it as that's what eventually I probably go for.

^^^^Tidy job there all-round.............

They're as good as I'd get for you mate. I took the boot lining of and mocked up where the bolts would go though and cut two holes. The near side is a lot easier than the other, even if you small hands like me!

With the upper mounts do you have to secure it into place with a nut and bolt either side of the seat clamp, if you get me

Perfect, thanks for that mate. For extra brownie points do you know what size bolt you used, M10 maybe?

Mine came with bolts mate and I'm not sure what size they were, sorry.

I think they come with m8 for upper mount -we drilled the hole out and fitted m10

Thanks guys, I'm just after a nice tidy fit and wasn't sure

Thread revival!
So the bolts go through the existing holes in the shell, facing in towards the car.
Then, inside the brace, pop a washer then nut onto the end of the bolt?

That is correct yes, use the pre existing holes with a washer then a nut on top of that.
