That does look a decent bolt in option,, I’d imagine you just need to drill from underneath, subframe bolt fixing,To mark out in prep to then drill bigger hole in top skin,, only thing is !! a raised cross section on under skin , may hinder a solid flat fix,

I think the 2 rear subframe fixings are "elongated" and bolt straight through from the diff carrier and through the brace.
Holes are cut using a holesaw from above to accommodate the brace.

If you google mason brace its a very similar solution from America but has an installation procedure on the website.

Hi problem is under the top skin inside the car , there’s a raised t shape that prevents a flat face for any brace to fit flush ,, Video mike posted shows the t section. ,, they cut the t and flattern. Not sure I’d want to do that possibly that will weaken the internal threaded bush fix that’s welded between the two skins , Better option is to weld in the cutout tee shaped plates that Chris “sme “ uses in his kit on cutters , Basically the same as I’ve done on Trackday shell I’m doing , can’t seem to post up images to show
