I dont have any bolts or fittings just the bar itself, how do i go about fitting it to the valver? should i contact k-tec for a fitting kit?
Cheers!

grab a drill, some self tappers (or nuts and bolts) fit it, then silicon ANY bare metal both inside the strut tower and on top of the strut otherwise it's bye bye struts

don't need a fitting kit

yeah just use nuts and bolts and washers, DON'T use self tappers, they're not stong enough IMO

I got the same one. came with some self tappers, just drilled and screwed, job done. watch the air regulator sensor thingy tho cos I nearly cut the pipe that goes to mine off as it's a rather tight fit....

ok thanks, so shud i bolt it on or screw it on? if i bolt it on wont i have to take wheels off to get to the strut? i dont want to mess about with it too much u see just want it on quick n simple!

Self tappers and chassis screws are sh*t! As Fred says get some nuts, bolts and washers and bolt it in, no point in fitting a strut brace designed to stiffen the front of your car of you attach it so that it can move about

stil a good idea to silicone where the bolts attach or just paint em wi hammerite to prevent rust?
