Show me strut braces, c20let nova

[TWAG]

I'm after a strut brace for my nova c20let, I'm just not sure which ones fit.

So as many pics of as many different braces please :)

[Southie]

Are you sure you really need one?

If you've the correct suspension setup and your engine bays been welded up I don't think you'll need one tbh.

[TWAG]

It's one of those things where it wouldn't hurt to have it I guess.

[Lee H]

Fearless one if you can find one.

[Southie]

This is a fearless one:

DJ Browney was making a similar item a few years ago iirc

[Graeme]

I have one of browneys copies bit sure where the rest ended up

[conad]

does anyone have a fearless 1 that could take a few measurments for me.... pleeeeeaaase :d

edit: Greame, is yours exactly the same?

[Southie]

I was too slow Lee lol

[conad]

could someone get me these measurments (Length/Angle) from a fearless (or copy)? sorry to hijack your thread TWAG

I was told originally that it was exactly the same but seen a few things Benn ( who I believe also has one of Browneys), he said his sits slightly different, I've not asked in what way though, you can happily take any info you want of mine but I believe Matt brown has one also, he is near bae if that's any closer for you

[TWAG]

Fearless one would be great but as said there rare as rocket house s##t.

If be happy with a copy if someone is kind enough to make some.

[Lee H]

I was too slow Lee lol

I decided to use a different picture for a change lol

[Pistol Pete]

Mines not a fearless one, but similar layout.

[TWAG]

Did you have to cut the top hat cover to fit the sparco brace?

[womble sri]

Yeah it doesn't look like it would fit

My old one think it was an MPS one that i had powder coated satin black at A1. Had a 70mm over size top hat so could not run turbo cover, but imo looked better without.
I have a 3" tophat if you wanted it mate, it's cut away from the flange at the moment as it fouled the bonnet as it was one of the first made back in the day. I sorted it out so it fits but just needs welding together (5 min job)

[GRUNT 16V]

I do want to build some up basicly the same as pistol petes and i have plates ready to weld together but i need some one local to me with a let or a xe so i can build up a pattern and then make a jig !!

I said what?

Mines a Dj Browney Fearless copy.

Matthew172 that inlet design isn't great

what makes you say that? its made by area six who specialise in making them, mainly for the ford guys, flow tested etc for best results

[meritlover]

......made by area six who specialise in making them, mainly for the ford guys, flow tested etc for best results

'flow tested' with a big turbo on a dyno' is pretty much as good as it gets :)
