Lower brace

Hi all,

Trying to fit the a lower brace on my mk1 cabby but the angles are way out.
The main bolt holes are angled where the cars lower control arm bolt holes are vertical
Am I doing something stupid?

Cheers
Stuart

If your lower control arms are straight, and you don't have a castor difference then I would say the lower bar assembly is ca-ca.  Can you possibly have it upside down, and are the end plates at 90 degrees.

Do you need to have the web with the 2nd bolt hole above the chassis similar to the K-bar setup in the link

Unsure about the 1 you mentioned, mine was a pretty basic bar with some plates , your 1 looks more "fitted"

The one fitted by VW to some Cabrios and Scirrocos was a K-bar design. However the logic is the same, bracing across the chassis legs by a device fixed in 4 places, two on each side. The plates on yours need to be above the chassic leg not below as you have it in your pics?
