Raceland rear upper stress brace

Cheers Manaz. Can you remember what you payed to your door?

[Manaz]

Well that's convinced me to add one of them to my shopping list for the near future! I would've thought the parcel shelf of the bora would've increased stiffness but clearly theres more room for improvement

Yeah, the Bora's not as bad as the Golf, but the brace still makes a definite difference.

Not off the top of my head, no. Will try work it out/find the details. It was worth bringing two in, the shipping per unit is substantially cheaper that way.

I may be able to offer something soon to help locals out.

Ok, i've been given the price which is US$420.00 shipped, for 1 item. So if someone else is interested, i could probably get another 1 shipped with this package to keep it below $1000 and avoid GST, would probably save us a bit on shipping.

Also, does anyone have the heavy duty nutsert installer they'd be willing to lendout to me for a weekend?

I have that tool, shouldn't be hard to get it to you in Brissie.

Sweet I'm going to order the unibrace. Does anyone else want one? May be able to tee up a group buy.

MMMMMM!!! Find out! Might not be able to save much on 2 interms of the actual product, but maybe able to cut down on shipping cost?

Let me know Drew

i don't think you will find you can get a better pricing from buying two
read this page Group Buy: MKIV/MKV UNIbrace

i plan to get this eventually, and fortunately i have pneumatic rivnut guns at work. should make it a breeze
Only issue will be where to relocate the amps on the rear seats...

[Manaz]

That's correct - need to buy many more than 2 to get a better supply price per unit, but 2-3 can be shipped together, which reduces the per-unit shipping considerably.

[McDub]

according to that thread, there is no saving if you buy 2 instead of one. and if you buy 3, it will take the total to over $1000 so will attract gst and duty

[drewr]

Yeah, i was really just hoping to get another unit shipped in for someone in Brisbane, but didn't get that, and i'm impatient, so i ordered mine this morning. Woo!

Being that they're wholly made in the US, my understanding is that duty should not fall due. GST though, most likely yes.
