i think the omp ones only fit left hand drive models due to the master cylinder being mounted so high up on the right hand drive models

[phil850t5]

It's not all cut and dry with the Volvo brace, when I switched to an auto I swapped the brace over and the main bar is very tight against the master cylinder, there was a good inch gap from the master cykinder when it was fitted to a manual. The difference it makes is well worth the price though.

It wasn't a problem switching it over apart from having to cut a bracket and the fact it's so tight against the master cylinder does concern me a little bit but I'll figure a way to sort it.

Phil: You'd be better off waiting for a Volvo one to come up on here and buy that and sell the omp one instead of faffing around modifying it, just my 2p.

rember there are two different sizes of fluid tanks. one is smaller and is more square shaped and the other is more of a rounded square shape. i have the orignal volvo brace and the more rounded tank and it is touching the brace but the tank and the brace dont move so there no problem with it touchin it
