So is that the S12 "short runner" manifold, with the brace mounted backwards so it doesn't foul on anything? My manifold (DR30) seems to sit alot higher than that but I guess it all comes down to the fitting kit
Can you close the bonnet with the stocker bonnet support in place,I can see it in the background of the pic so I'd assume the rod just clears the brace?
Always thought that FJ in a 1600 meant no strut brace was possible as per urban legend but then the internet is full of truths
If I'm not asking too much would be great to get a pic of the height of the bar straight on aka looking from the front of the car to the windscreen (then I could use the location against the bonnet catch as a reference point, hard to tell if it sits as high as the wound spring and in relation to the bolts on the wiper motor)
