If you look at the difference between the one that fits without modification, you can see that the crossmember between the droplink will need moding.

and here is one method of making it work. Not the way I would do it but it does brace the drop links well. I would modify the crossmember.

Thanks John, does anyone currently sell an affordable replacement brace like that? I saw the AZC one but they’re ugly and expensive.

Just modify a stock one. Pretty simple fabrication really.
I have some stock ones here if you want to have a go.
I did at one time have a modified one that Laurence at Star Motorsport made/modified.
