need pic of Pro5 strut tower bar
I just got my strut tower bar kit (w/ cruise) for my 00 ES, but I can't figure out how the new cruise control bracket is suppose to be installed. If anyone can post a pic of their Pro5's strut tower bar base w/ cruise control I would greatly appreciate it. 
thanks
thanks

looks like mazdastuff.com (aka Roger Beasley Mazda South) sent the wrong cruise control bracket. Instead of sending the one on P5, they sent the one on regular Proteges (ie not for strut tower bar).
Emailed them asking for an exchange, hopefully they'll set things right and get me the right part. Worst scenario I'll just dremel the bracket and make it fit w/ the bar.
Thanks for the help nonetheless

Where to buy front strut tower for my 2000 protege?
Can anybody tell me where to buy the front strut tower support for my 2000 model protege and will this item post no conflict with the cruise control device?

ordered the P5 cruise control bracket at my local dealer today. Should arrive on Thursday, they told me. Cost me $22, but it'll be worth it for a clean install.
Funny how when I told him the part number, he asked where I got the part number, and if I work for a shop!

Mazda South comes through!
Just received the correct cruise control bracket from Mazda South, now I am very impressed with their customer service 
. Cancelled my order w/ the local dealer (still on backorder), should be installing the bar this weekend.
Have a questions though, is there a specific torque value that I should tighten the bolts on the strut towers with once I added the bar brackets?
