strut braces, with discounted zone price

[Kos]

these are available from Automac GB ( 07767 688 233 )
have done some deals with them in that past and has shown me these and made a deal for zone members, i've taken them and compared them with the other countless strut braces i've had over the years

these are made from steel, are light and very stong and good welds on them. nice and simple to fit, both whent on the car in less than 30 minutes

fronts similar in design & theory to the sparco steel one which is arguably the best around, but this come close. rear one provides re enforcemnt to your top mounts as well.

thet have been road test, and work well, front end feels tighter on turn in. on the back you wont feel much if a change but hey they look good and probably make a difference when pushing your cars, but as said befor they will re enforce your top mounts !

these will clear all factory engines in e30's. M10, M20, M40, M42, S14 will also clear M30, S50 and M50

front £45
rear £40

buy the pair for £80

now in stock

[maxfield]

I'll have a rear on at teh pod.

[Kos]

done, i will bring one along for you jamie

also these will clear all factory engines in e30's. M10, M20, M40, M42, S14 will also clear M30, S50 and M50

[maxfield]

Kos, don't suppose you know if it will fit a C/F airboxed M3?

[march109]

hmm payment options? to whom? and delivery timescale please? for both or just front, are they made to order or are they in stock?

[Kos]

jamie, i'm not sure. could always have a look at the pod

march 109, in stock, available separately, i could take some to the pod, i think automacGB will be there with a trade stand. or you can pay them direct. i dont get too involved with money mate when its not mine to sell, gets to complicated sometimes ! delivary is fine and can be organised.

but i'm sure i can get some to the pod if you are going.

Just to add my view to this thread;i tried to fit one to my m42 and the body of it rubbed against the inlet manifold; it bolted on but it made some horrible vibrations through the carl andrew also said modifications to the m42 inlet had to be made in order for it to fit.

Not sure though but just my experience.

[march109]

I'm not at pod as I'm working! can i do paypal/cash/cheque? could you arrange delivery to south of england? even if it were first class recorded post?

have you got a number for the people I need to contact direct??? who else on the zone has used these?

So its not a sparco one? Looks very like that! If its different then i stand corrected.

[oze30]

nope.. not a sparco one. this one has the brace ABOVE the mount whereas the sparco one has the brace in lint with the top of the mount almost.

Kos, maybe interested in these as the sparco one I have will interfere!!;)

automacs number is in my first post, cheque payments are fine mate, and delivery to UK and irealnd can be arranged.

neil who's the owner of automac is a trust worthy person, and there's no BS with him. feel free to call him and arrange with him your needs. he's well known with in the car club. i've used them for my cage and they've supplied cages for the production bmw championship. samco hoses are through them as well, mark aka zaust was dealing with that i belive

as colin says the bar sits higher up so clears everything, but similar in design in regards to stoping turret flex

[oze30]

I've thought of a braced hoop that goes from tower to tower via the rooflining cage-ee style.

Pod may be difficult. Might need to take a few sickies this week!

[fugazi33]

Hi Kos, you 100% the front brace clears an M30? Cheers.

[Cabrio]

If you dont try it you wont know...so always worth it at that sort of money

[Kos]

Hi Kos, you 100% the front brace clears an M30? Cheers.

well i had a sparco single tube brace and twin ally one on my car which had an M30 in it, and these have same if not more clearance so 99% sure it'll clear

[fugazi33]

I hear ya, just have no need for a £45 door prop

[Cabrio]

Then ask if you can try it against your car first...its not rocket science..

[oakey]

Can I take one off you at the pod Kosworth?

Why the sarcasm? What's any of this got to do with you? If my car was going to be at Santa pod don't you think that's what I'd do? Go away and annoy someone else, as I'm not interested. Sorry for the o/t Kos.

[Cabrio]

Its not sarcasm any more than yours...I was trying to offer some advice...but you really need to think about your replies as you may not get help in the future...good luck finding a brace to fit
