Strut Brace help

[BigBadBob]

I think i'm in need of help!

I ordered a sparco strut brace from demon tweeks, which has now arrived!. I thought fitting was undo four bolts, slap on and redo bolts. Easy?... NO :down:
I lined up one end on the bolts, and the other end of the brace is nowhere near where its supposed to be!

If i line up the brace, ignoring the bolt holes it looks perfect, everything else lines up, but the holes dont match where the bolts come through!

Am I doing something stupid or is something wrong here!?

cheers in advance

u tried turning it around both ways?

sounds stupid and cocky but seriously this is actually good advise

yeah, first thing i tried!

Either the bolts are wrong or it has to be bent into place, - but that can't be right!!

looks like its going back!

typical - allready had to hack the rear bumper to get the janspeed back box to fit, seems the one on there (not from nissan) isn't a perfect copy!

cant you get some pics up ?

 

[BigBadBob]

I'll try - not had a lot of time so far!

called demon tweeks, apparently they have loads of problems with strut braces, - not clearing engine ancilleries usually. I'm happy though because they are collecting it and arranging a new one!
