Folk have attached theres to the rear strut but not something id do, mine are bolted down in the back seat belt holes.

No point in fitting them if your going to wrap it around the strut bar.... Pointless exercise.

This is coles old car

It wouldnt be very safe i dont think, as the strut brace isnt design to take force vertically

anybody know the laws on this?

SImple, there not designed to take the forces in that plane.
Struts are designed to work against each end of the bar, not take forces from outside the bar.

Personally, your stupid if you fit it like that.

why is that exactly?

Bad idea Dan

i thought about this - just doesnt look safe

do it via your back seat seatbelt holes

whiteglanzav is right !this is the most suitable place

Like other people have said it's not made for that force, at 30 mph a typical hard stopping crash and ure looking at pulling around 7g, so think if you weigh 70 kilos like me, and I'm fairly light, ure looking at asking that strut brace to take 490kg of force, and thts at 30, good luck with that!
