No your right I just found it out. I measured the distance from bolt to bolt on the strut mount on my cabby it is like 42.5". The mount holes on this MK2 bar is like 45+". Thanks anyway, another good deal no good for me!!! Dratt!!!!!!

I have an upper strees bar that I got off of my donor A2 Jetta and I am going to trim it down on the parts that encircle the strut tops and it will work for me however I am pretty sure that the strut bar is off of some other car that is not a VW. Plus I have adjustments on both ends along with the middle and they are all the way in. This is how I was able to get mine to work. However as for a fixed bar with no adjustments it will not work. Sorry. Plus it sounds like your luck is just as good as mine.

I wouldn't think so I am still keeping the ends just cutting the circle in half so it would fit. After I get done with it, it would bolt up just like the neuspeed bar, and the ABD bar on the two bolts that are there for the strut bearing plate.
