I've got Sparco jobbies front and rear on mine and the only real difference that I can see is the cut out on the base and the hartage badge. Other than that their identical. I'm pretty sure that Sparco don't make strut braces for hartage, their to big to get someone else to do it, they must be making them?? Just uncanny they look the same.....

All the early 25s' had the tank there its not a Hartge 'thing'

The braces only look the same the dimentions are very different.
