How Apache, I come in peace! I fitted an ASC strut brace to my 1998 2.8 Z3. I got it from ebay and it's a solid piece of alloy kit, which clears the ASC and does not foul the bonnet. I had to ream out the holes and recesses on the plates slightly, especially the ones near the welds, but it fits snugly, which is what you want. Check it out blood brother! Cheers, Bonzo
