Fitting a CSP Kafer Brace

Any body modifications required to fit a 3-bar CSP Kafer Cup Brace in a '69 Bug? I remember reading about needing to remove some metal around the shock towers, but don't recall the specific application.

Also, any clearance issues with the CSP bar and a A1 Sidewinder header?

Just som small clearancing needs to be done to the sheet metal to make place for the upper brackets.

Same as above, small amount of notching required. 30seconds with an angle grinder and its done
