My mate and I used a punch to mark the centre of the marked hole, then used a small drill bit to make initial hole then then the bigger one for the final hole.

Measure twice drill once,

It is easy if not a little daunting drilling holes in your strut tops,

place the brace in place and centre punch and then go through with a small drill bit to start with as said above,

Just make sure you rust proof or pain where you drill as been on strut tower its quiet open on inside of strut tower,

When i did mine i tried to weld nuts onto bottom of strut tower to try and make it easier if i ever wanted to take it off but i gave up in end as nuts i got didn't weld very well and trying to clean surface up enough inside tower was a complete pain

whats the strut brace off mate and good luck with this pics after u have done it

Fit it with wheels of the ground ;-)

Cheers guys

Its one of these jom ones mate
