    Default AE86 Strut brace quickie?

    Hi Lads and Lasses,

    Rex has a handful of strut braces in the make, but must know just one thing.

    He must know if any part of of a 4A family engine sits proud of the two red points as seen below.

    The cam covers are fine, but its the inlet Rex is curious aboot.



    If so, by how much? and if not how much clearance is available?


    Cheers,

    Rex

    My AW11 4agze in AE86 is above the red line, can't tell you how much though as the car isn't with me. If I had to guess, it's probably up to the height of the oem strut tops.

    The spanner in my avatar is actually a 16mm, that's why it's still new
