so from that 'quote, your supposed to buy a part for your car then beat fuck out of it with a hammer to get it to fit?! quite frankly fitting a strut brace to a MK3/4 fiesta has all the point of a blunt pencil. such is the archeaic design of the suspension. all the geometry is cast into the stub which is mounted to a twist beam. which is only slightly on from a cart. the shocks and springs go up and down but anything you do with them including moving the turrets isn't going to make a shits worth of difference. if you bother to stop and think about it there's not that much load placed on the bolts probably no more than normal. i dare say its more of a placebo effect. FT also started the cosworth wheel curse and the fitting rear discs is dangerous. or in other words drive like a cunt, spank it and blame the car.

so in closing. fit one of those braces whichever way up you like. theyre as much use as a set of bollocks on a dodo!

anyone can fit it the way they want, but I think it would work and look better 'upside down'

I've never beaten the fuck out of my turrets to get one fitted. Clearly the chassis was fucked when he did that.

Either way, fuck it, who gives a shit. I'll get Terry to bum rape you all if you argue about it any longer

No one asked for your opinion.

Got the engine out yet? What about the ignition barrel? Hows the postman?

Good work, it certainly is a tidy car with you keeping on top of any bits like that.
