THICK chrome strut braces (rear)
Somone on here used to make big chrome rear strut braces. (i think)
im pretty sure i sold mine on here, although i cant remember if it was from here or ebay i bought it from.
It had like a 3" thick pipe, with C clamp sort of hooks around each edge, and i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get one these days, or if anyone still makes them.
It was the best looking and strongest strut out there IMO.
(other than being welded in obviously)

firestormer has got back to me, and im sending off a cheque, so ill have one of these braces soon.
thats what i love about this site, usually anything gets solved within about 30 mins of you posting it on this forum
thanks everyone

I know this is an age old post, but any chance this guy is still around to make a new one? Or anyone got one in the loft/shed that they dont use anymore??

For a tin top you might want one but the Cabriolets have a better strut brace as part of the rear beam..so it isn't needed on a Cabriolet.
