Default strut brace dilema

so, my new OBX strut brace came yesterday, and i excitedly when to go intall it, when to my dismay i discovered that it was about 1/8 of an inch shy of fitting. most upsetting, and i need to get it on before saturday because i am going to get my s70 aligned then. so is there any way i can angle my struts in a little bit, or am i going to have to drill out the holes on the brace some? any opinions and input are appreciated

Most likely drill it out.

Sorry but you bought an off brand probably from EBAY am I correct? I know OBX for Volvo is an off brand.

Should have gone with the EST and or OMP and hell even the OEM from Volvo.

Ok just found them on EBAY, cheap is all I can say.

i totally realize that you get what you pay for. i anticipated this. and there is no el mula for the good ole EST or OMP, there for the el cheapo. but i guess i will just file out the hole a little bit and make do. nothing like some good ghetto riggin'
