Hi Guys ,Ok here are the first pics of one the Brand New 'GTT Lower Mid Chassis Brace' .
This is 'the' first brace to clamp through the rear ends of the subframe into the chassis in 4 positions (12mm bolts) linking each side together to prevent flex in this area. By using 4 bolts it prevents pivot movement front/rear & up/down which you would get by using just a single small bolt at each end. We've gone quite a bit further than this though ,here some of the features:-
- CNC milled from Very high tensile 50mmx 16mm 6082T6 Alloy extrusion.
-Satin Black powder coat finish. (very tough & durable)
-Milled rectangular pockets (to reduce weight.)
- Integral raised bosses - Check out the close up shot (pic5) ,you can see wev'e machined all the metal away along the entire lengh on the uppermost face, just leaving the 4 raised round pads - this avoids a weak point occuring at the base of the counterbores.
-'Scollop' machined in the centre to give clearance with non stock cats (its still a very chunky 16mmx 38mm solid metal even at the narrowest point.)
-No reduction in ground clearance whatsoever.
Note this brace is designed to be fitted either on its own or in addition to a ' Lower FRONT Brace'. You can see in the photo on the car ,this car has the second brace (a red OMP one in this instance) still fitted further forward. The GTT Front Lower Brace that fits in 'this' position is still about 2 weeks away.
Apologies for the not too hot photos. It looks a whole lot nicer in the flesh .
To Avoid any confusion 'I shall name this ship (sorry brace) .....The 'GTT Lower, Mid Chassis Brace'
Best Regards Roland GTT
