LOL, I imagine it can't harm the handling though.... I got a 6 point cage to put in as well and thought adding a rear strut brace would make a proper climbing frame/assault course for the kids....

Tony - how much you want for it m8? I'd really prefer a steel one as I'll be painting it and don't want to waste a bufty ally one...

Radders, have you got a full cage in Mercury Magic?

You're getting one in the rear from a friend? Whatever flicks your switch....

I just got a 6 point OMP job yesterday, stripped the beast down this arvo and was waiting for Jay to come and help fix it in.... but his missus has just told him she's off so I've had to leave it for today.

Fookin women.

My brace isn't all bufty and highly polished. It is in like a standard finish so it can be powder coated. I think it is the 2 inch bore. Can't remember exactly.

Doesn't look like it mate, I think I'll be sitting round Jays with the kids whilst him and the missus are out trying to patch things up......
