Clipper Strut brace

Bought a front strut brace for the misses clipper and it doesn't fit. See photo. 

The air intake is too high as the brace sits on it and is no where near the strut bolts.

I believe it has an aftermarket Weber carb which may be adding to the height issue. 

Is there a specific one for a clipper?

Most seem to be designed for the K-Jet engine cars not carbs.

Its the bottom brace you want as the top one does not make much difference.  

These are factory. I fitted one a few years ago. I managed to land on one local for £40

This is a old topic but might Help someone, the position in the picture is wrong, that bar does not go that way, rotate it 180degrees….!
But it still might not fit your specific engine.
Picture source, golfcabrio.de I only found this pictures after 4 years of doing the same in my 2H.
