Picked this up on ebay for about £25 delivered from the states.  Hole tapped for an M6 bolt although want something other than steel pushing against alloy   ![]() The above part had me stumped for awhile, the lower forked mount point was at the wrong angle, the instructions are in Japanese, quick massage with a hammer and it fits.  I had these parts left over, couldn't find where they were supposed to go so left them off (they don't line up with any existing holes) Besides, its plenty strong enough as it is. Bit of a bargain |

I wonder if the spare parts are meant to fix it to a shock tower brace bar. My first Roadster had a bar in that blue (I forget the brand).

I thought they threw them in just to confuse the hell out of the receiver. I contacted the seller and he had no more idea than me. Sent him some pictures of how I installed it, so maybe of help to someone in the future |

Has it improved the brake feel Melx5? Something I've been meaning to get for a while..

Still looking for something to fit between the brace and master cylinder, hope to find something off the shelf rather than over engineer the thing Will let you know when I sort it, tbh if you're looking for a stopper you could do worse, the price is right and very rigid, just offer him about £12 (equivalent in $) He accepted my offer straight away, may even be worth offering less and seeing if you get lucky. |

Had some 4mm rubber sheet left over from my boot bag so clamped that between the brace and the master cylinder. Still haven't driven the car so unsure what difference it will make (really need to replace the brake hose so will probably still feel spongy)  |

Stamped on the brakes this morning and the brace definitely makes a difference
£25 well spent
