lol, you want an engineering drawing of a strut brace that your fabricator can use to make a brace? in my experience, a mate that says they can make something easily for half the price etc etc, it never happens |

I do, and sorry, but no I'm afraid I won't, I spent quite a few hours getting the braces fitting as tight to the sump as they are without them hitting when the engine moved!  Besides, unless he's using the same bender as us it'll be useless anyway. Get that there tape measure and crawl under your car, it's fun, honest.  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

What is that plate? Does it come off when you take the bolts out? Looks like you have a metal plate from an old strut brace that's been cut off?________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |
