Methinks Mr Thrasher has stolen that picture from matey-matey.com. The wheels are ATS Cups which have been polished.

I don't know for sure fella, but I'd always assumed longer ones - I'd want the same amount of thread actually in the captive nut as before if the original is only just long enough for it's purpose (I can't remember off the top of my head). Can you e-mail OMP about it?

Jelly on ClubGTI/Edition 38 has fitted a lower strut brace to his Golf IIRC and should be able to provide a response |

You can get a 5mm plate under the standard bolts with the thread still protruding through the captive nut. You may find the OMP brace is too short. It should measure 683mm centre - centre.

Thanks chaps, it should arrive tomorrow, so I can roll around in the rain underneath the car, so I can check things out properly. |
