[Pub247]

Ive got a nolathane one on my vn suits the Vl 6 cyl aswell though if you check out the link in my signature theres a pic in my thread. they retail at repco for $187 but you'd get it cheaper with trade or staff prices if you know someone. Whiteline are about $160 according to vn2nv both made by the same company

I reccomend the Whiteline one. From pictures atleast it looks better than most i've seen and it has decent clearance. Fits VL also. Pictures below:

Pub is your strut brace full circle at the strut mount end or half?
like Dylans is the complete circle and uses all 3 bolts.


i Need one of these for when i fit my motor back in, dont want my struts bending at all and cracking any paint

Wow !!!! On a VL probably at least 7kw at the rear wheels and 11km/ph increase in top speed to say nothing of the improved fuel economy. Trouble is, uinless you've got the bonnet up, no one can see it!!

Mines only half way and adjustable held in with 2 bolts. I also find it funny it doesnt go the whole way round and is their most expensive one. I dont think i will have any twisting issue as i'll be welding all the seams in my engine bay

cheers guys. i think i like the whiteline one better. how do you set up those adjustable strut tops vn2nv?

[1991_Vn2nV]

Do you mean how do you install them or how do you adjust camber and castor?

To adjust is just a matter of the top nut or bottom nut depending on if its camber or castor you want to adjust. My strut tops are Nolathane Evolution ones (would have got Noltec but out of my price range). The standard Nolathane ones only allow for one adjustment so it adjusts camber and castor together...You can't do them seperately which is a bit of a silly design. Hence I went with the Evolution ones.
