bollocks,

I've jsut finished making a set :(

Haha, always the way!

Joe, is there a hole in the front subframe as standard, where mine are bolted to?

I can't remember If I drilled it from scratch or just opened it up?

erm, not sure... I welded a braket on for mine.

I think yours are bolted on with the bolt that goes throgh the front panel/ teardrop mount.

I've got a set from Force Racing..

How much?

how much for a set like that matty? will they be strong enough? im guessing so

As long as it's anything but tin I imagine it will be fine. Looks like good work, and fairly good gauge metal... Matty?

there very cheap, i dont like the ugly box section brace bars you can buy, id rather spend an extra £10-£15 and get some nice ones that you cant buy off the shelf.

greg

well i would like some of them if there a fair price :) this iswhen i wish i oculd weld ha

Im doing them for £40 + postage a set. I was only going to do a one off set, but as there seems to be a fair demand I'll knock a jig up. They're made out of 16 gauge mild steel and will be finished in gloss black.

EDITED to state price is + postage. cheers.

good price,

I wish i had a use for a set lol

makes me want a flip front even more.......

NO...... stop it you cant afford and the front end is in perfect nic........hummm.......

ooooooooh, i didnt realise painting was included!!!!! even better let me know about the other bits n bobs

greg

well il defo have a set :) pm me with some more details.

Ive pretty much finished Gregh55's brace bars and ive knocked up a jig using them.

Greg can you check they fit ok on yours? If so then im good to go to make some more.

As one part of the brace bar mounts to the body and one to the subframe there could be a slight difference in dimensions...hopefully it'll be small enough to not matter.

Can you start a list of who wants some, so I know what quantity to order the material in. Im going on holiday in a weeks time so I'll be looking at getting these made early march.

yeah no problem matt

I'm in, but just checking, how do these mount to the subby? Bracket welded on or other? Either's good.

they bolt on, using the standard holes. . . .i think

just one hole? wont they twist. maybe make the bit at the front a little longer with 2 holes in?

ill have a set whatever :) i need them for early march sooo that would be fantastic :)

Yep they bolt on at the front using an M10 bolt.

Jamz, I can make a set longer for you if you like with longer 'tabs' at the front. I'll leave them blank so you can drill them where you like.

Tbh I can't see how they can twist without the actual bar bending.
