[EOI] Rear Strut Brace.. New for >$150

[2000VR-4]

Thanks for that Tim

Carsten, I only wanted it for show as much as anything else but now I am not so sure if there is cutting involved

 

[Guest]

dunno how major the cutting is,
its something the japs do,

I've never seen anyone in nz/uk/oz with a rear strut brace on a galant

Hugh, after some research based on what these guys have said, there is a fair bit of cutting to fit to a Galant so I will give it a miss. Sorry if this stuffs you about mate

 

[matchtheclown]

Nah doesn't matter mate.

As far as cutting it would probably just be the moudled carpet which covers the top of the shocks wouldn't it?

Anyhow no worries either way. Pretty close to next week guys. I'll let you know when progress occurs.

sadly not, its metal that gets in the way during install.
apparently not structural, but without having a galant or the brace, can say for sure

Just did a little research to figure out what the hell this actually is... was getting confused between this and and sway bars, found the thread with some photos of the sway bars (thanks carsten) and it all became clear... anyway now I understand and if it will help with handling and easy to install, then count me in also. I reckon this in combination with anti sway bars front and back and teins should really make a difference.

That's right, there's metal (basically a wall) stretching between the strut tower and the parcel shelf. It looks pretty solid and substantial so I'd be guessing that, even if it is not strictly structural, it would lend a certain degree of stiffness to the shell. My guess would be that cutting it to fit a brace would be counter productive.

so are you only talking about the galant here or are you talking about fitting to the legnum sorry its either the lack of sleep or the excess coffee that i cant get my head around wat you mean lol !

so hows it going along ? still keen as , im sure this as well as up graded sway bars will lead to a great combination

looking forward to bolting it up

 

[2000VR-4]

UPDATE:

Really sorry lads it's been pretty hectic recently we have moved factory this week and I have been busy apart from the 9-5.

I have the laser cut profiles.
I spent an hour having a go at making a set and discovered I need to spend a bit of time making up some jig's etc. so I can do a run of them without any hassles.

So Yes I have been in action. No they are not ready.

Our fabrication should be up and running in the new premisis this week or early next. So I will be able to put some more time into it soon.

Apologies for the delay. I need to give this project a little more love than it is getting.

Expect an update within 2 weeks. Thanks for the push Gly, anyone is welcome to hassle me in 2 weeks regarding this... but I've have bunged some time into outlook to spend on it.

Later lads.

Hugh.
