Roland
I would like to know if you plan a rear brace like the one on the conv. car. The bar is all the way back on the rear carrier. It's oem on conv. cars and has braces going forward. My interest is on the bar that joins both sides of the carrier.
Thanks

Hi Roland

Just a quick question, are you planning a discounted 'package' for a full set of GTT strut braces? I think this would go down well all 3 together for a small discount over separately or free fitting or something? I'd like to get the lot at a later date

roland2003 · Nov 1st, 2006, 11:34 AM

Newbs.........................Possibly later on ,but no design or drawings started at present.

Matt.................................we may do an offer on all 3 purchased together ,although as each of the 3 braces are on Mini2 launch prices for the first batch,it wont be less than the 3 added together at these launch prices.

Ok Ive now had a chance to test the brace on our demo car. Its good!
I'm going to do more tests once the other GTT lower brace is available,for example using just the lower (frontmost) brace,using just the mid chassis brace & using both.
Best Regards Roland GTT

Can I get a frequent purchaser card please Roland? You know the sort; buy 8 items to get a free overpriced and trendy coffee... looking forward to getting my brace.

Nice picture of the fitted brace Roland

It's a superbly machined strutbrace and seems to be doing its job well.

(John... I think the pictures are just fine!!!

)

Cheers,

All,

Here is a picture of the new lower middle strutbrace as seen from under the car...

Any news on the other (front) lower brace

GTT 280 · Nov 11th, 2006, 04:34 PM

Once again, on those twisting back roads today I really felt how the upper and lower braces are working together. The difference is so noticable, and my friend and I had a constant smile as we sat in the MINI and presented our ability to a tailing chipped CupraR (273 bhp).

Truely great work Roland!

Cheers,
K.

Tony....... patience my son

Its' in the system' wont be too long now.
Karl.........The novelty hasnt worn off yet then

Best Regards Roland GTT

GTT 280 · Nov 12th, 2006, 12:47 PM

So long as the east keeps drilling oil, and the west keeps making fuel - the novelty will never wear off

Cheers,

Just to give a big thanks to Roland.

Mid Brace ordered 3pm Monday received 2pm Tuesday, excellent service, and excellent quality goods.

Now fitted and semi tested ( it is snowy up here ) and it improves a little on my existing OMP front brace.

Next up Aerobox upper brace

Roland, I did end up removing the inner shims and it fits perfect.

Roland fitted the upper and front lower brace to my MCS in Feb 07 and it made a huge difference.

15,500 miles and 10 months later, I fitted the GTT mid brace and thought I might not notice any difference. Wrong! Wish I'd done it sooner

Tigger.

roland2003 · Dec 13th, 2007, 07:41 PM

Thanks for the nice feedback Tigger. Just go round and retorque the bolts one more time once its settled....you might get even more improvement still.

Good idea. I'll give it a few hundred miles and do that

Newbs49 · Dec 15th, 2007, 02:19 PM

Roland
Have you done anything yet with a rear brace. I know it's been awhile since the mid -brace came out. Thanks
Larry

roland2003 · Dec 16th, 2007, 08:05 AM

Hi Larry no not yet, however a strong one piece bolt on upper rear is on the cards. -hed stainless steel to look the part aswell.
