Strut brace
And now for what you have all been waiting for!
I have put in an order for 20 braces, this works out at £65 each, they will come bare metal ready to colour however you want, I can possibly arrange to paint them myself for an extra fee.
I need to set up a confirmed order list, either on here or by pm so we can get the ball rolling.
Obviously I am taking the brunt of the cost myself so the more people that pre order the better.
I anticipate the first ones within the next 2 weeks.
Some pics below, the finished articles should be a bit more aesthetically pleasing, but so far the one fitted to my car has done the job brilliantly!

Re: Strut brace
Just a though,
If anybody close to horncastle in Lincs wants to come and "try before you buy" you are more than welcome.
The A153 from Horncastle to Louth is fantastic for test drives! fast twisty and not a little hilly!

Re: Strut brace
Just incase you thought I had forgotten!
The order has been held up by the supplier booked to cut the bits for the top of the struts (lasers ) as they are apparently extremly busy with bigger jobs.
If any progress is made I will keep you updated but so far it will be new year before the first ones are ready.

Re: Strut brace
Good news folks,
The Cad Cam cut parts are finally ready and I should have the first few ready for dispatch some point next week.
Now for those of you that have expressed an interest, I shall shortly require some money so I can pay the workshop.
When ready I will post them via standard parcels at a cost of £12 (including box and tape etc if it works out significantly cheaper I will refund the difference)
So £77 in total.
I will pm everyone who has already pm'd me with options on how to pay. These include cash, cheque, PAYPAL etc
If you want to collect in person thats no problem. You're more than welsome to pop over for a cup of tea and a chat. (I can point you in the direction of a good test route too)
I will of course provide a reciept (non vat for obvious reasons)
Also I want to make it absolutley clear that as the braces were designed from the dimensions of my car, and the inherent differences in cars manufactured 30+ years ago, that, there may be some fettling required for a perfect fit.
I still have around 10 not yet accounted for so if anyone else wants one please send me a pm.
Any left over will be going on ebay for a slightly higher price, ebay is getting bloomin expensive now!!
Thanks for your patience!
