One of the original parts first manufactured by M7 Speed back in 2002 is now even better. We have taken this tested and proven design and improved on it. The Gen 1 MINI SRP Kit (Strut Reinforcement Plate Kit) now includes six custom made self aligning acorn nuts for full thread engagement and extra holding power.β€š The M7 SRP Kit will protect your strut towers against mushrooming caused by destructive potholes, unmaintained roads and aggressive curb jumping.β€š

Extremely durable, the 1/2" (13mm) thick plates come in sets of two (left and right) and are made from CNC machined aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum that is beautifully black anodized to prevent corrosion and and some underhood beauty. Our plates cover theβ€š ENTIREβ€š surface of the strut tower top (not just where the upper strut mount meets the tower) to evenly distribute suspension loads over the largest possible area available.

Through the years Gen 1 MINI owners have had one common complaint: the strut towers mushroom after heavy suspension impacts or after the addition of low aspect ratio tires or coil over kits. The MINI's shock towers deform and bend as much as 1/2" [13mm] upwards, throwing the suspension out of alignment and making it difficult to realign.β€š The problem will most likely show up as a slight pull either left or right when driving depending on which strut tower is buckled. The M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates (SRPs) solve this problem by sandwiching the sheet metal between the strut top plate and an extra thick SRP, creating an extra strong composite top surface that will not bend.

If mushrooming is your problem or concern, then the M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates offer the solid solution. Adding the M7 SRPs to your MINI is an inexpensive preventative measure to what could be an expensive fix if you let a repair shop or body shop attempt it.. Thousands of sets have been sold over the years.

Installation is an easy 10 minute DIY project. The installation kit includes simple instructions that also address fixing existing mushrooming.β€š

  • One Left Hand strut reinforcement plate
  • One Right Hand strut reinforcement plate
  • Six closed top self aligning acorn nuts

Please Note:β€š The M7 Gen 1 SRP Plates will fit all R50 R52 and R53 base and S models

Works great
Be careful NOT to get it on painted surfaces it will remove the paint. It does exactly what they say it does and if you follow the directions to the letter you won't have any problems

Worth the time and effort.
Perfect solution to my faded out, sun damaged gel coat. Follow the instructions to the letter for a factory-like shine. One bottle was barely enough for our 22' Winnebago, another bottle for our 29' Cabin Cruiser. Many compliments on the shine.

A quality product which will clean an oxidized fiberglass trailer in preparation for the application of Poli Glow
I used this to remove the Poli Glow previously applied about two years ago to my fiberglass trailer. It seems to do a slightly better job of removing the PG than the other Prep solution, but I didn't do a side-to-side comparison. And the surface never achieved a completely uniform appearance after the stripping, although this may not be possible because of differences in the remaining gel coat surfaces. I also completely washed the trailer with soap & water after using this stripping product. I didn't do this the previous time and thought some of the prep compound may have been left on the surface resulting in a shorter life. Time will tell. Note: it is still "work" to strip the trailer, this is not a "magic" solution, thus the 4-star rating. But it, along with the Poli Glow, was the only way to get my oxidized trailer to look shiny. All the other products tried failed to bring a glow. I will purchase it again when redoing the trailer.
