K10 strut braces

[superls]

Hi all,

In addition to my ‘strut brace idea’ thread I am gauging interest in K10 strut braces, for the moment just the front ones, but rears to follow.

Basically there are 2 options (for now):

1) Single stainless steel adjustable brace, the one closest to the front of the engine in the pic, and it will be adjustable in the middle.
2) Twin stainless steel adjustable brace, basically the one in the pic but both bars will be adjustable in the middle.

There could be another 2 options, 3) stainless steel non adjustable single and 4) stainless steel non adjustable twin, if there is call for them.

Rough costs,
1) Between £30-40
2) Between £50-60
3) Between £25-35
4) Between £45-55

As ever all prices depend on demand and material costs.

At the moment I am looking into powder coated mild steel ones, but they are working out more expensive,

Also all of the above options may be available in aluminum, but don’t know prices yet.

would people want a polished aluminum one instead of a polished stainless one?

Cheers all, discuss below, and please come forward with your recommendations and comments

[MartyMicra]

I am very interested

 

[curtis]

My webers are in the way, reason why i had to sell my last one...are you custom making these?

 

[bombz4]

really interested although may have an issue with my webber! if we get a dry day i'l see if one will fit with either of my carbs. also definately interested in a rear if they are made up!

 

[superls]

I am very interested

post or pm me what you want then

My webers are in the way, reason why i had to sell my last one...are you custom making these?

yes curtis im custom making these, or at least planning to, if you give me a measurement from the bulkhead of the area to avoid or a dimensioned drawing of what you want then ill see if i can make smoething up

 

[superls]

curtis, did you get anywhere with those measurements if you still wanted one?

 

[curtis]

Im not sure how you would go about one, it cant go up and over the weber filters, becuase it will hit the bonnet, therefore it will have to go around either both one way or split one around each way like the very well draw pic below

The red squares are the weber filters, i think ill have to leave it until next payday as this will cost a bit more to make im guessing, but if you could give a rough est, that would be good

 

[superls]

got any dimensions of where it cant go, with referance to the bulkhead.

 

[ollyc98]

I'd be interested in a twin, non adjustable in mild steel if you could do me a quote for that.

 

[curtis]

I havent got any exact dimensions, but there is about 6 inch between the firewall and the start of the webers and then the other side there is nothing, you could fit a supercharger there lol

 

[superls]

@olly, mild steel? why not s/s?

@curtis, take measurements and draw them up, or write them on a photo and ill have a look for you. (off topic but did u post the g/box yet?)

 

[curtis]

Ok ill have a look sometime soon

 

[superls]

ok and cheers

 

[ollyc98]

Mild steel due to cost and the fact I'm gunna paint it myself and want to do a slight welding modification to it when it's on my car.

If I thought my car would pass it's next MOT I'd get s/steel lol
