the idea is not to space a brace mate,the idea of a brace is to brace the car up.
sorry to say it should be made better.but its just a bit of steel.

Just noticed in the photo that there is a cut out on that bar where the bolt hits the forge bar. Is that the nearly £100 regal bar?

Yeh mate, the cut out is to stop it hitting that engine mount

If you have this issue, its easy enough to take a notch out of the Forge bar, and if you can't do it, if you mark it up, any backstreet engineering place would probably do it for beer money, its a two minute job.

And then all your doing is weakening it , thankfully this was taken into account on the regal one and is why it was made thicker/wider in the first place to take the notch but not compromise the strength and rigidness.

i did my own, thank the work for the material

Major oversight by forge if you ask me. Not enough testing on the bar.

This is why the Regal one is so much more money than the forge one.
