Strut Tower Brace?

Are there any Strut Tower Braces on the market for the Justacooper? I remember looking a few months ago, but everything I found was only for the R53 (I assume because theres no battery in the way) but over the last few days Ive seen shots of a few R50s with them so I figured I'd check and see.

The OMP fits the Cooper, it's made to clear the battery cover.
I have the Promini one, but i cut the battery cover, not difficult to do.

So the battery it's self isnt in the way, the cover is?

Stupid damn covers.

Where can I find the OMP one?

Exactly, the cover is in the way, not the battery. I don't know where you can find it, because i am not from USA... This is the OMP: http://cgi.ebay.com/OMP-Front-Upper-...item5ad449b012

Dude, just look over my thread. Everything that could be searched/done to the R50 is there. lol.

My bar is the Racing Dynamic one (got it on clearance).



MossMINI carries 'em, but at $120 I think it's a rip-off.

I'd say do a bit of a search, as I know there are others out there that don't require you to change/mod the battery cover. And I think you can find the Racing Dynamic one for cheaper as well.

Later,
Leo.
