HI ALL , looking to get thee rear end on the saff a bit stiffer so what are the best sensible options ?

a strut brace is the easy one i suppose but which one works the best ,

thanks in advance

 

Adrenaline one, picks up diff mounting points. IMO

 

ok m8 , where from ?

 

Unless the diff mount is majorly different from oe or poly ones that's not picking up on the diff mount bolts, no way are they that wide spaced.
It's irrelevant whether it picks up on the diff mounts so long as it is triangulated to the floor ie shell of the car as it is this that you are trying to stiffen, easy diy make.

that looks quality steve mate...

 

Is that an actual Adrenaline strut brace? If so I'm actually very surprised by how poorly designed the strut mountings are.

I can't think of any reasonable explanation as to why they would be mounted in single shear

 

oh dear , i only wanted to no where i could get one made ?? anyone no anyone that can make them to a similar style

 

surely they need to go between the body of car rather than top of shocks, to actually stop flex?

 

The one shown is shit put bluntly, though a lot better than none, I can put anyone onto a guy who will make one correctly and that actually works perfectly if they pm me.
If that's a adrenaline one, I know what name to avoid.

you could make ur own if you can weld piece piss ,bet the one above 150quid for 5quids worth steel

That looks the biz dingla, a track car I take it ?

road car i think ,not mine doing for some one ,,catterick shite as always pal i live in catterick village its a bit better than catterick .only moved her few years back tho

 

I like catterick myself, the village is past the racecourse towards A1 isn't it ?, must say it is nice down that end, bought my first calculator from a shop in the village, in 1976!!
I loved going across the road and onto the moors/army training area on me dads bultaco, awsome fun.
I lived on what's now Peasholme Park, was backwood estate back then, suppose things have changed in 34 years ha ha!!

Skat i can get the triangular ones made up if you like might take a few days but im having one done so it might be worth me getting a few made!

 

when i made mine, i simply got a length of bar that was longer than requireed, split the ends and put holes in them and slotted them over the bolt holes in the turrets for the suepension

and to do the adjustment i used a big fuck off nut/bolt thing in the middle welded to a smaller diameter pipe to put the pressure onto the turrets

once then were in place, it was simple enough to find out the holes i the boot floor where the diff moutns came through and flatten some of the same pipe to bolt it up to them

ok, this was year and years and years ago when i had my 3 door, so probably a good 17 years back so understanably no pics of it

 

sweet m8 , any idea of a rough cost ??

 

Yep, its a genuine Adrenaline strut brace., £150 worth!!
