The first thing to do is to remove the screw that holds the expansion bottle, you can move the bottle out of the way whilst still connected to the pipes

The second thing to do is to position the brace between the struts and adjust, the threaded part by twisting the end of the brace around until you get a good fit, without the edges of the brace fouling the protruding turret (you shouldn’t have to bang it in to fit) Once your happy, you should carefully pilot drill the turret at each of the bolt positions.

The turret is double skin metal, so be careful not to burn your drill out (always use a sharp drill bit) Once piloted you can drill the holes bigger with an 8mm bit.

The tricky part is next, if you don’t have a ramp or axle stands, and you have to leave the wheels on, you will have to get your hand behind the wheel arch liner, and fiddle in limited space to get the nuts in position, this will almost certainly result in grazed knuckles and profanities, but patience is a virtue

Getting a spanner in is a fiddle so better off with a jointed socket, a friend is useful here to hold the bolt still while screwing the nut on. If you have fitted it right the bonnet will shut

Get some 1.8 or 2 inch long high tensile steel M8 bolts and Nilox nuts, most motor factors should sell packs of em should only cost a few £'s

High tensile ones have 8.8 stamped on top of the bolt head, anything softer may just bend

Thanks for the pictures and guide! Very helpful.

Im going to attempt it this weekend, hopefully it will all go to plan!

I will post pictures of the finished result.

Thanks for all your help!
