Hi Mike and anyone else interested, You wanted to see how the brace looks install in an escort cosworth, Well I have a couple of pictures for you. The spare wheel has to go but in most case they are not usable due to upgraded brakes and this is to serve a purpose rather than just an extra piece of bling.
Hope you like. The powder coated finish is also available in Black gloss and if theres demand I can do them in black wrinkle finish coating.





and from underneath this is the mount that the bolts go directly to making this very rigid.

 

In theory its a good idea

What exactly is it bolted to underneath though? (excuse my ignorance/stupidity )

 

Can be done for a saff as well Danny?

 

It bolts through the floor and through the captive nuts for 2 of the diff support mount fixings, this then leave it as a stud on the underside and you fit the nuts we supply which fixes the diff mount firmly into place again.

 

sorry I should of mentiond they fit 3-doors and saphs.

 

seconded as i was curious before why people do it to there!?

 

replied to quick

 

I take it the pic of the diff mount is just a ramdom pic as it held in with bolts from the bottom going up
Also is the hole in the floor in the boot already ???? or do you have to fit the Brace on the struts so you can drill the hole into the floor

 

they look smart mate, is that the finshed colour mine will be in??

Like that a LOT .

 

i take it, this would be beneficail to have installed at the same time as chassis bars, when i eventually get round to it

 

Luke yes, your is being packaged as I type.

I confess the diff mount pic is a random one haha, but its more to show the idea .


Michael PM on its way.

Mike

 

yes!

Oh yes you have to drill 2 holes, simple common sense gets them in the right place but I will tray and find a point to reference from and giv a measurement when i send them out.

 

can you post it to the same address, Luke Swan 5 colorado close dover kent ct16 2ay

 

I think what i will do is this,

Drop cossie to you. You fit chassis bars and rear brace as above. I pay you, i leave and go home. That way i cant mess it up

 

I thought it might have been that or i was going mad

 

No probs that could be arrange for a sat morning if easier than week day.

 

I would say if you fitted the brace to the struts that way you cant get the holes in the floor wrong

 

Im thinking the same thing but not atm as cash is very tights (its still on my Parts to get list )

 

luke dont, think its the wisest of ideas posting your addy on a forum n you own a cossie

 

just remove the 2 bolts that will be replaced from the top and use the captive nuts as a guide for a punch or drill bit (obviously taking care not to damage the thread)

 

my cossie isnt kept there son!! Cheers for the advise mate

 

Luke its sent to Katy again. in the envelope is the invoice its not just a label

Oh public appology! I forgot to put the bolts in with all the braces I've sent out today they'll be in first class post tomorrow morning to you all.

 

Nice work Danny

 

That looks nice work,infact my missus would love that as she could put the weekly shopping behind that and it wont go all over the boot Has it any other uses? Only joking its nice to see these parts being thought about.

 

I need a decent rear brace,How much are they?

 

i designed one of these about 3 years ago, but being lazy i never got around to do it

 

Andy_R has a similar thing in his RS turbo

 

Danny did you get my 2 in the post to day,will let you know when they arrive


cheeRS stu

 

Looks like a top job!

Very very tidy.

JJ

 

you should have them in the morning Stu, the bolts are a day behind due to me rushing to get all the orders out and forgot about the bolt kit.

Price for those that have asked is £197.50inc vat they are made from 4130 cro-moly tubing which makes them very rigid and allow to keep the wall thickness down meaning these weigh in at approx 1kg Lighter than most alloy braces on the market, so if your looking to save weight and have something that works this brace is for you.

As always I'm happy to do trade discount on multi purchase orders.
