My guess is that it locks in when the black bit is pushed towards the bulkhead ?

phill, you do realise a strut brace is supose to be a solid bar to prevent flex between the top mounts? a flexi version kinda defeats the object lol

Doubt you'll feel it when your polishing it and worrying about beading water mate,,,,

 

 

hahaha, sorry couldn't resist

Well I'd say looks great and if it has a bit of resistance it would make a small change. but does depend on how flexy it is :)

Idea of it is it allows vertical, but not lateral movement. Seems to be an improvements over none (according to peter solberg and chris atkinson), but not sure how it compares to a proper brace due to them doing a test with and without, not against a solid one
