Will MK1 Golf OMP Strut Braces fit MK2 Scirocco

[Mark H]

Looking for clarification, would the MK1 Golf OMP Strut Braces fit the MK2 Scirocco ?? looking at the Front Upper, Front Lower and Rear Upper kit from Strutbracer.

Thanks in advance

Cheers Nate.

Just concerned about the Front Upper Strut Brace, anyone fitted one ?? Anyone got a picture showing how much clearance their is ??

Don't want to order one and find out it doesn't fit.

Cheers

Think height is a problem with some of them, although a notch in the bonnet reinforcing panel will let the bonnet shut.

Don't buy the ta technix one! They don't fit, are badly made, and they aren't interested when you want your money back

Cheers mate,

Going to bite the bullet and order the kit tonight, will let you know. Thanks again for your help..

Just to let people know, fitted the MK1 Golf OMP Strut Braces (Upper Front, Lower Front and Upper Rear) everything fits great. The Upper Front brace has around 3mm clearance to the underside of the bonnet reinforcing panel without any modifacation. Lower Front and Upper Rear fit no problems.
Happy with the result and the drive is significant improved.

Hi mark, just wondering if you have a weber or peirburg carb fitted ? As I know people have trouble with the weber being a few cm higher than the peirburg. Cheers, jake.

Hi got a pierburg fitted to the car and the OMP Brace is good. Measured up a couple of cars at the Nats meet that were fitted with the weber carb, it appears to sit about 12mm taller.
It looks like if you remove the webs on top of the air box it should give enough clearance to fit OMP Brace with a weber. But at your risk mate..

Lets us know how you get on

Cheers Mark, was hoping you would say weber aha. I'm not afraid to have a chop so will give it a go, If not I'm sure I can sort out an alternative plenum or such similar.
