    Woodsport Mk1 2011 rear strut brace

    Hi folks, i used to produce a crude but functional rear strut brace about 10 years ago for the Mk1, and a few of them have recently surfaced again after all this time, so i got thinking it was time to produce an all new 2011 version, much lighter, very strong, laser cut brackets, rose jointed, fully adjustable preload and highly polished with new cap head bolts etc.

    Anyway here it is... this fits all NA Mk1a and b models.









    Price is £75 posted within the UK, Paypal is Paul@woodsport.org

    I am also designing a front brace shortly for sunroof models.

    Paul, does the coolant bottle not clash with the brace?

    Very nice!

    Does it clash with a K&N when installed directly on to the throttle body?

    No, not at all, i just forgot to refit it when i took the pics, i always make sure my products don't foul anything and fit properly.

    It shouldn't do Jimbo, it all depends on the diameter of your K&N but my induction filter is quite large and it clears that, it would clear my filter if it was right on the TB.

    Hello there Paul,
    In no way consider this a dig, but it does look a bit familiar to the ones on my car i made a good few years back. I like em

    The only issue I have with mine is getting at the dipstick. You can get it alright, but its a bit of a fiddle.

    Looking good though, mate.

    Hi mate, i had forgot all about yours to be honest, some owners on Imoc egged me on to make a new strut brace and this was the result, now that you mention it it does look a lot like yours!

    Hi Paul,
    are these ready to go or is there a bit of a wait for them to be made?
    Cheers
    Dan
