I will soon be upgrading my manual rack to an e46 rack. I have all the parts I require and today was making sure I have all the necessary bolts/fixings/etc.

I have found where the fluid reservoir is located, it's the folded bracket that comes off the strut tower. But I can't see how to get a spanner onto the rear of it to tighten it up? Tbh I haven't tried yet but before I do I was wondering if it is just a standard nut and bolt fixing or something else?

I think I may have answered this myself after a browser through realoem.

Looks like I need the 'nut holder' (number 8 ):
