NSW MK1 Front Strut Brace

[dubmc]

Hey folks, after a strut brace to suit the MK1

Not all that keen on the ones i've found on the net/ebay, would prefer a good second hand neuspeed one or something along those lines

if anyone has one stored away in the shed or has some suggestions on where to purchase such an item without spending big dollars on shipping from oversears that would be great

thanks, michael.

Lower brace has biggest impact on handling and they can be gotten locally.

What engine/induction are you running?

This is what i'm going to make for mine.... (I made this one too)



Tubular stainless with no bends. Bends give you a fulcrum and make them much, much weaker.


The difference this brace made to the car's braking and turn-in performance was chalk and cheese.

mk2 1.8 with twin dellortos, something like that would work well, I won't have any issues with height either, expensive to fab one up you think?

Didn't cost me much to do. I'll be making one pretty much the same for mine, but not for a while.. I can't remember how much the stainless tube was... But I bought a length.
