I was meant to check mine yesterday but got caught up installing my exhaust. I'll have a look today

Finally got a chance to measure mine. I'm using an OEM 3-point bar (bolts to firewall) and my measurements are virtually the same as yours. You need someone without a strut bar to measure theres. I may be able to measure the one at the wreckers if it still has the struts in it.

This is my one:

It's an OEM part off an AE101 Corolla GT model (same shape just with a factory 4A-GE engine). It comes factory on quite a few other models too.

^ You've really gotta drill those holes bro, or else it's technically only a 2-point bar

. Will make it more rigid once you bolt it to the firewall.

lol... ok... iv got hole markings there but there but no hole... il try and get you some pics of it...

***Kiwi-Corolla*** · 06-20-2010, 07:19 PM

^ Yeah that was like my one. I just got the appropriate sized drill piece and drilled through. You can either drill the hole a bit smaller than the bolt so that it taps itself in there, or make the hole the same size as the bolt and put a washer and nut on the other side.
