Roland,

You working your magic on this product. The attached one looks like a good attachment method but sheet steel construction could be bettered.

A simple yes or no would suffice

Just PM him. I do vaguely remember one was being planned though.

It was acceptable in the 80's

Hi , I think we can do a little better than that
I must confess to not having got as far with it as I liked though. A gentle push always speeds these things up though.

Push

Seriously, i know you can and indeed will do better Roland. I do like the extra 'pick up' points of this design though. If done right this could help to stiffen it up more than just the std. way. Do you agree ?.

I agree, but my point was the pick up point of the design seems a good idea.

Hi Guys, well finally the all new GTT R56 strutbrace is now available and in stock. There is a thread just gone up (with pics) on the Mini2 GTT Forum.....
We use 8 point fixing, One piece fabrication, and a cross beam of 100mmx13mm thick. ..Easy fit, no mods , various colours, looks even better than our R53 brace, even chunkier and still allows adjustable camber to the same extent that the stock car permits it to...oh and handling from heaven!
Best Regards Roland GTT
