Maybe if we made a list of everyone interested it'd give him an idea of demand?If there's enough demand...there's always supply!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are better soon. On the subject of braces in general, if comparing a floppy poor design (e.g. E-Tech) to having none at all, there will be next to no difference. Any decent design (a straight bar, solid attachment points and with no pivots) will have a noticeable effect providing extra stiffness to what is quite a gap in the torsional rigidity of the body. Even if it is providing better rigidity, it may be difficult to feel on the road as it will not be a night and day difference all the time. My experience is that a decent design will provide a result, e.g. better turn in and less scuttle shake. I was after one of these PhillipM jobs but no longer need one as I have now found a KD Racing one which works well for me. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Nah, got smacked right in the eye by my husky pup with the tips of her claws with her weight behind, felt the whole eyeball squash, wasn't pleasant, was popping painkillers like sweets for a week or two.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
