I have just recived a lower strut brace made by PhillipM. Got it off Midlife for £30 It was unpainted. So I primed it and sprayed It up using Red Hammerite. Looks lovely.  And very well made.    Hopefully I'll get to fit it tomorrow afternoon, If the weather permits.  ________________________________________ My Rallye was built on thursday 7th January 1999 according to the cosmic code generator.My Cyclone refurb |

Well after having a thrash at yesterdays meet. I am quite pleased with the lower brace, the front seams more planted and the steering is more twitchy  I does feel different but hard to explain how.  I can deffo feel the surface of the road more through the steering wheel. So I suppose that means the fronts stiffer. ________________________________________ My Rallye was built on thursday 7th January 1999 according to the cosmic code generator.My Cyclone refurb |

Well, took you a few months to fit it Anyway what's that leak from your gearbox - is it normal? I have the same and when I remove the bulkhead (or whatever it's called) it's all oily  . Other thing - is fitting the bulkhead impossible after installing the lower strut brace? I'm thinking of getting a lower strut brace but I don't wanna remove my bulkhead, it's really useful imo  ________________________________________ post.tenebras.lux11 May 1998 |

the gearbox leak is normal its the shitty end cap seals for the crank. They need gasket sealant as well. |

I fitted it before the last scottish meet I just thought i put the pics in the tread. As for fitting the undertray  you would have to do a but of modding. Its to long and bulky to fit under the strutbrace. I'm going to look at making a ally one in the new year.________________________________________ My Rallye was built on thursday 7th January 1999 according to the cosmic code generator.My Cyclone refurb |
