Tried fitting it last night but the brake fluid resovior was in the way, very tight fit too.
did you guys just move the bar behind it?? dont want to damage the resovoir at all if avoidable.

There seems to be a special way of fitting these, i know that when i've fitted them it has taken a bit longer then expected and been a bit more fiddley but they have went on in the end without causing any problems.
Faulty

I finally got time to fit mine but had it fouling the brake resovoir and ecu cover .
Ive also got a feeling it may not let the bonnet close properly but as i couldnt get it bolted right down i maybe wrong.

The one i saw fitted,didnt have the washers re-fitted and that "just" fitted and the bonnet closed a treat

I removed the washers but i was still putting alot of pressure on the brake resovoir. The flat metal corner plate is rubbing the ecu cover also.
Cant see any other way to put it!

Well it's the end of the month and I need to know how people are getting on with the fitting or do I hold fire as there seems to be some issues?

Few people with issues, and a few without this time round. All ones sold prior to the GB have had no issues what so ever!

So do you think this may be just a dodgy batch that was sent in to you as you can see my concerns on the matter?

Indeed it is mate, that one is clearance stock though. Got returned to me but is in perfect condition.
