Upper Strut Brace Fitting Question

Altho i have a omp one and i can see advantages and disadvantages between urs and the omp like how urs is mounted to the top of the struts and no ajustment. if you could make this ajustable and secureing to all top strut bolts i think you would be on to a winner Smile

There's no real need to pick up on all the bolts, even with just those two it's far stiffer than the thin flimsy plate most braces use, doesn't need to be adjustable either, it's slightly twisted so it tensions itself when you bolt it on, same as my lower braces do, all the adjusters do is give them somewhere to flex and add un-needed weight.

Probably end up a little more than the OMP ones just because of the extra material and welding to do, but they're approx 3x as stiff vertically, 2.5 x stiffer longitudinally and about 8-9 times stiffer laterally....as for the e-tech ones....tissue paper compared to these Big Grin

Plus, mine has the option of extra bits to add on at a later date Big Grin
