Purchased longer bolts and washers. Everything suddenly fit and the brace was installed within 10 minutes. After a drive and retighening of all bolts I took it for longer drive. The before and after difference is not dramatic, and I was not expecting it from such a well-built car.
Impressions are that the steering wheel feels more solid. Noises from the road bumps are more muted, distant. On higher speed turns it feel solid, more solid than before. That new feel provides more confidence in the turn. A more solid feel at highway speeds. It is noticeable? Yes to me.
