Nothing I like more than a challengeā¦
As I mentioned before, the strut tops in the engine bay are drilled for a strut brace that was previously fitted to the car:
I would usually look to get the strut tops welded and the holes filled in, but I like the originality of this car, so wanted to see if could source another identical strut brace.
I mentioned before that I found one for sale on eBay in the UK and bought it, but Yodel lost it!


(BTW
NEVER send anything with Yodel, theyāre

heads!



)
So I set my heart on finding another one, and after a LOT of googling, managed to find a New Old Stock one for sale in Italy, but they wouldnāt send it to me in the UK because of Brexit, so I asked them to send it to my companies office in Munich, and this morning managed to get it back home following a business trip!
- Train to Frankfurt airport
- Thru airport security (Wasnāt confiscated from me!
)
- Managed to get it on board with me (Wasnāt asked to check it in!
)
- Sauntered thru UK Customs
(No tax to pay!
)
- Properly unpacked it at home, and clear to see itās been on a shelf gathering dust for MANY years!!
Another box ticked for this car!!
