Doesnt look likely. Might be worth a chat with some of the people with track prepped cars, Mr P, NeilM.

They may be able to shed some light on the matter

I made a bolt at work that's done the trick, ovawise u would have 2 drill the metal part of the strap right out Making the mounting weak


Had the ED30, but not got the balls.
