Location: Hamburg, Germany		some time ago i build one, actual 2, brace bar for my MK3 metro, i'm quite sure some people did before.
i have to say thats the biggest improvement i've done to this car. now it clearly shows that i have to rebuild the rear radius arms, they are slightly worn.

i've used 20x20 milimeter square tube, 1 meter in lenght. you need nearly 50cm each side, and a plate of 50x120x5mm for the front i had lying around.

Location: Germany		Does it fit with the spare wheel well?

I haven't thought of these brace bars yet, but it looks like it could make the rear a bit stiffer!

Location: Jelling, Denmark		It does indeed make a notable difference. I have made one where the stiffening metal rod is bend around the spare wheel.

Location: Hamburg, Germany		absolutely no problem with the spare wheel well. the rear exhaust box is much closer. but nothing a minor hammer blow can not fix
