Front Strut Brace Fouling Fuel Injection?


Recommended Posts

I have a 97 EP91 Sportif, bog standard. I picked up an OEM front strut brace, but when I try to fit it, it fouls against what I'm presuming is part of the fuel injection system thats mounted on the bulkhead immediately behind the airbox.

When I compare photos of other engine bays the component my strut fouls on doesn't seem to be present - but the component is definitely on an original OEM bracket.

See photos below...has anyone come across this before or whats the feeling on what I should do to all the brace to be fitted?

Yes mate all of us have had the same problem with our UK spec motors! :)

You need to bend the fuel filter bracket back with a crowbar or something similar, or gently tap it back with a rubber mallet. That should fix it.
