RHD strut braces have to come out to go around the brake servo/reservoir, i've got the bigger brake reservoir on BT & the strut brace touches as it is. You can also see Volvo slightly squashed the passenger side to give a bit more clearance for the ABS plug, thats stopping the brace bar being mounted further to the front of the actual suspension turret

i like the 2mm thick steel bands holding the brace bar to the turret tops, there really going to be strong enough to stop chassis flex lol

If you want an exact quote on a brand new genuine Volvo strut brace please click my banner below. Off the top of my head they are somewhere around £70 or so plus the postage, which is more than the one in your link, but they are made to a very high quality, as anyone who has purchased a genuine one will tel you.
