    Anybody got a Strut Brace on a RHD car?

    Can you tell me what Make it is, where did you buy it etc?

    Thanks,

    Mark.

    all s2 strut braces are dead straight so are the same for right and left hand drive.
    3b's are round and aby's are square (V6's use square ones too)

      They come as standard. If its not there, then someones either removed it, or you don't have an S2.

          Dont have an S2, sorry should have said. Do the mounts bolt on or do i need to weld them in place?

          TIA.

            1991 Audi Coupe 7A engine, Location Ireland, hmmm.... last time I checked, the 7A wasn't an S2......

            Public profiles.... I guess they are there for a reason after all



            And here's one for Mark (who doesn't own an S2, but a 7A Coupe!!! - how big do you lot feel NOW!), the strut brace is bolted onto the turret top connection plates, which are inturn.... welded onto the car. ici:

              Perfect thanks, i assume that image is from Audi's ETKA system?? ..which answers my next question as to where to get one.

              Cheers,

              Mark.

                  It is Mark, yes.

                  I could send you one over if you like? it would be £68.25+vat for this delivered to you. Drop me a PM if you'd like too.

                    Hi Mark, nice to see another good looking Coupe Quattro 20V owner on the board! too many of these turbo lads about. Last time I had a boost leak it was when it melted in the wrapper when I'd half eaten it!

                    As was mentioned the S2 strut brace is a simple unit and is bolted to welded brackets. The battery is usually under the rear seat IIRC? not sure about the 3B ( early S2).

                    Can't help more I'm afraid. Jamex did a strut brace which kept the orginal bettery location IIRC.
