Rear strut brace for wagon.
Has anyone fitted a rear strut brace on a classic wagon? Is it an easy job?? which one should i look for? Pics would be a help.

What year is yours Wimpy I forget :)

I havnt actually fitted one as of yet, I bought one off a cock on here who assured me it was for a wagon and it wasn't, it was for the saloon, the difference being there needs to be a cut out for the wagon as there is a welded bolt on top of turret that the brackets for the speakers etc fit to, that it won't go around if it's the wrong one.

^ They are the same the bolt is a V1/2 problem so yeah you need a moon fitment brace :) If you have a V3+ Wagon fitment is easy :) Will post some picks of mine on a V2 if you like :)

Pesky version 1's!! Lol
|
:D

whiteline do an adjustable/quick release one for the newage wagon 02>. Camskill Performance have them. Not seen one for the earlier wagon but as it is adjustable it may be worth speaking to Camskill if nothing else turns up.
Fitting is easy and pretty much self evident. Trev |
Mine is a MY94.

Should be self explanatory with only minor trim trimage required. :) You need to remove the boot lining/trim to do a proper job IMHO :)

great pics thanks for that. Did the seats go back ok?
|
Yeah, the only compromise is the load cover has to sit further back :)

the classic is much lighter than my newage wagon but I found it eliminated a lot of the flexing on cornering. The car felt more planted and controlled. As always though it was the start of whats next!!, rear arb, drop links, front strutbrace, ALK and so on and so on.

Great pics stu, are there any available that fit on all three of the strut fixings that you know of?
