    Does anyone know of anywhere that sells the rear strut braces that go across the boot/rear struts?

    also has a guide been doen to moving the fuel cut off switch for when fitting an upper strut brace?

    SORRY WRONG SECTION, CAN THIS THREAD BE MOVED PLEASE.
    there are no struts at the rear to brace so a brace across the shell is pointless

    and movin the cut of switch undo the 2 8mm nuts ans zip tie it somwere out the way

    and it been moved

    As Alex said you can't fit one on a Saxo as it's torsion bar and not springs.

    Strut Braces CAn be fitted to saxos/106's etc etc

    Bit of a fart on though, basically involves cuting to boot floor out etc etc not worth it

    there would be no strengthening benefit of fitting a rear brace in a saxo as, has already been mentioned it has a torsion bar at the back

    it becomes more like a subframe to hold the beam and still does very little tbh

    the best way is with a cage that mounts through the bootfloor to the beam
    that will be a weld in and will make the car not very road friendly
