Slick! Too bad you can't see it all the time!

No need to move the battery at all. It slips in nicely beyond the backside of the battery.

Hi,
Sometimes the Battery must be moved slightly, it just depends on how the Mechanic installed it. There's about 1" of available play toward/away from the Firewall. Just loosen the Battery Hold-down Clamp (10mm?) and move the Battery forward if necessary to get the cross brace behind it...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I didn't have access to the torque specs for the strut bolts and used my experienced hand torque meter to get the job done. The strut bolts are not on very tight at all. I would guess they are in the 15 ft/lb range.

Carl, I did a search, and found an old post from Jim (MNBoxster) and he states 26 ft.lbs. for the re-torque.
Jim, is this the same for the 987??
Thanks!

They are nice strut braces. Installed on on a GT2 a few months ago, and there was still room enough to mount the Moton Canisters for the front struts to the bar  With the covers on, you would never know it was there.

Hi,
Yes 26 Ft. Lbs. and I imagine that it's the same for the 987. You need to be somewhat exacting and use a Torque Wrench as these Strut Studs will snap pretty easily if overtorqued - then you're replacing the Strut - $$$...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Does the front strut brace "get-in-the-way" for future alignments?
