Go for the US one if you can't get one made from ja99a.

I'd personally fit an extra brace on top of the kit as suggested by Nathan at century. Helps spread the load better on the gearbox.

Last thing you want is the bar ripping your gearbox apart.

Have to say great mod, gods for gear changes and wheel hop.

Best thing is to check my project thread on member profiles, I have pics there of the bracket I made to help support the gearbox.

Easier than explaining.

I got a new one a few years ago from twos'rus.co.uk . Just heed the caution in the feedback section when ordering though and I'll say no more. Never checked since if they still do them though LoL.

would it not be easier to change the front and rear engine mounts (there more dampers anyway) for something stiffer, rather than making loads of extra bars?
