hey mate, you should try what gilly has said & double check & same with marvis. I've got an ae86 front strut brace on my ae71 that also fits on my girlfriends ke70. Try one on each side, if the holes don't line up then swap the sides around.

Hope it works out for you mate & you don't sell something you wanted in the first place.

cheers tom

+1 on gilly.

I had the same one. Fitted fine, Make sure it's around the correct way :P

this one is adjustable, the linkage bar is threaded, should be able to bolt one end on the to the tower and spin the rod until the other side lines up.

the non adjustable ones don't fit 70's in my experience but this is not that style so i'm curious as to why it isn't working out

I will give it a shot again, seems the bolt spacing is way off :S

I thought it would fit as 86 struts fit in a KE70, i assumed it would fit.. then again i dunno if you use KE70 top hats in a 86 struts conversion?

Svenmate, You meaning im selling it too cheap? im not sure what they are worth. what the retail for?

haha ive had 2 sent back that dont fit and then they fit my ke70. but sometimes it easy to just give a refund coz the customer will swear i sold them the wrong one. Im glad you had a go and got it to fit.

Yeah,

When i tried last time i was in a rush, missus was in hospital and i was back home grabbing clothes when the postie van came with me brace from Japan.... as most of us on here are so eager to try something out as soon as its in our hands, that's what i did.. tried one end, failed, tried other and failed again.. turns out if i remember correctly i swapped brace ends as i swapped sides of car.. so if i kept the one brace side and tried on the other side of car this thread wouldn't have been started :P
