Remove nuts and wire bracket and drop on strut bar bracket. Note the brackets are handed and the offset brings the bar forward over the front of the throttle body. |

The back bar can be mounted with the end brackets in place but the bolts that hold the end brackets should be left slack at this stage. |

Remove the back two nuts from the struts on each side drop the strut bar on and replace the nuts and tighten them down. Finally tighten the end bar bolts. |

But it does stop you slicing your fingers open on the cover or it potentially scratching the rear bar |
