Default My Racetec strut bar hits the hood and master cylinder reservoir...

anyone else have this problem?

It's installed, but theres a shiny spot where the hood hits, on the passenger side back bar.

Yep, I had the same problem until I removed the washers... The bar does contact my master cylinder reservior, but it just barely touches it.

Default If I remove the washers, it will make the contact with the master cylinder worse....

The reservoir has a small dimple in it where the bar is contacting it.

I bet it's a good 1/8" at least.
