Look very sexy Paul. Do you do the laser cutting yourself or is that out of house?

Hi Adam, the laser cutting is done out of house, i'd kill for a water jet cutter though, someone lend me £100k and see what products you get lol

Will these be available for a limited time period Paul? Or made to order? Would love a rear one but funds wont allow for that atm and wouldn't want to miss out.

They will be made to order at any time, no need to worry.

Good to know that when i have the money i can get one, look forward to seeing the sunroof model version. I have a T-bar brace on my sunroof model, however i rarely take off the sunroof, so a non issue really. Would be good to have matching braces though. Keep up the good work. :thumleft:

No worries, they will always be available from now on.

I just spent the weekend hooning around with the new brace on and it's definately making a noticeable difference, the rear of the car seems "tighter" , either that or a placebo effect of me thinking it must be handling better, but it does feel different.

Looks pretty sensible - bar in the the same plane as the mounting plate which is important for stiffness. Overall looks beefy enough to double as a towing pole should the need arise ;-)

This thread is over 3 years old.

Sorry i haven't had time to produce a front one, not enough people want it, so i would pour hundreds of pounds and many man hours into a 5-10 brace per year sale.
