Any one with the sparco strut bar on a m42???

[hyperE30]

just would like to know if it fits well on it?? or any mods??

it will fit, you will just have to flatten slightly the bottom of the middle where the manifold hits.

i had it on my 318 with couple washers with no problems.

did it ever make contact when shifting? Did it hit?

Here is what I had done to mine at a muffler shop.

I have my intake manifold sanded way down, and I have the sparco on washers and it still hits at high RPMs. I might need new engine mounts, they look ok though

[hyperE30]

that is actually good idea to flat it out, since its not being cut doesnt weakned it. or any other ones that fit well on it???

Im haveing trouble seeing what was done
but since I dont have the ground clerence to put on a cross brace, I need to invest in a strut twoer brace
