Those AZEV's still look hot.  Great looking time period wheel.  

Okay, I have that same strut tower brace and it won't fit my car or my neighbor's... What gives???  I might be eventually fabbing a custom adjustable one.

I notice the Auto Glym on the seat...   That stuff is TITS..  but very hard to find here in the US.  Some of the Rover places import it.  :D


There is a way to fit the strut brace, it's not exactly easy though, but once it's on there...it does do the job..Best way to fit it is to jack the car up from the middle/front of the car, so that the wheels are almost hanging, then take the 3 nut's off the top of the mount's, so that you can then fit the brace, then you will need a certain amount of help from some friends to flex on the strut brace on. Put one side on first, bolt it down a little, then, as said, using a little bit of help from your mates, flex it on. It will only be out about 2-4mm so should not be that difficult to do. I didn't know any of this information i've just told you, at the time of me doing mine, so it took 4 us to get it on...I was not impressed..:(

I actually had the same problem as you in the begining, and ended up taking the 1st Strut Brace I had bought back to the shop, thinking it was fooked! Anyhow, got the 2nd one and it was excactly the same, then realised my mistake!!

Some of Autoglym 's stuff is ok, actually the only stuff I use is the Bumper stuff and the Autofresh, which gets rid of unwanted smells :D

Apart from that i don't really rate it that much, it just leaves to much residue after using it. The majority of my cleaning gear is Meguairs....Good Shit!!

Thanks for the comments

I have used it in the past, but found that it left too much residue. I used meguairs on the say so of a mate and have not looked back since, having said that, if i had the money Zaino would be the one I would use. Excellant stuff, comes very highly recommeneded.
