ID:	10122109 Hi
    I recently acquired this strut bar but not sure what brand it is?

    I know breyton and BavAuto made similar variations but the one I have doesn’t match either of those 100%

    I want to say it’s an early Hartge strut bar with the passenger side cut out on the mounting plate.

    Let me know what you guys think!

      Somehow looks more clone like to me, but the Hartge bars helpfully had a sticker logo that would fall off, so who knows.

        Isn't the difference between Hartge bars and similar non-Hartge designs that there are two bolt holes in front of the bars on a Hartge and only one on the others?

          Why is that chunk taken out of the strut top plate?

              M10 cars at least have a fuse box bracket there. Maybe some other models do too.
