Sorry old been but wasn't RRG at Prescott hill climb
http://www.prescott-hillclimb.com/
or have they changed location for this year???
As for Top Gear, thought it was very funny just lacking on any other content.....
I'm no expert in these matters (better to ask gary at retro motorsport) BUT..... surely the whole point of a strut brace is to connect the tops of the 2 suspension points together thus spreading the loads and forces betwen the two? which also stiffens the shell. If you put it further forward then yes you brace the inner wings together but the forces through the suspension tops will still flex the inner wings therefore (in my humble opinion) rendering it completely pointless fitting it and just adding weight to your car.
i.e. strut braces are designed to be functional not pretty Lol!
Hello Dom, Its been a while
I remember this one infact if you look carefully in the top lefthand corner of this pick you can just see the back of my black MK2 2.0S
