Makes it a lot easier mate off the car, I had one shear off when i removed the clamps for the rear arb, took me ages to drill it out lying on the floor :Chair:

steviewevie What sheared off exactly ? The bolts holding on the OEM braces that you removed to fit the new rear brace ? So it's not too bad, you just need new bolts ?
the bolts that hold on the standard brace to the bottom of the suspension sort of area.
its the bit you screw into on the car so need to drill it out

That's a stroke of luck with the cruise control arm. IIRC there are only really 4 types of steering wheel remote, resistance varying, voltage varying, seperate microswitches and bus style control. There's a brand of adaptor for steering wheel remotes with aftermarket stereos which come in 2 parts - the appropriate loom for the stereo and then 1 of 4 boxes to adapt it to the correct kind of steering wheel remote from the list above.

Nipped into work and got the bolts drilled out, borrowed some bolt and washers and went to fit them.
Fit like a glove, but as i suspected, making them flat and they wouldnt fit i dont think.
But heres some pics:
The front brace compared to the standard one:

The rear brace compared to the two brace strips that it replaces:
