It was nit-picking really. I'm being picky about 1/32nd of an inch of travel while I refuse to wash my car after it rains because it's just going to rain again.

So I was trying to figure out a way to keep the stock spark plug wire holder and keep the brace visible cause it's just too pretty to cover up. Picked up a .25" I.D. x .75" long spacer from the local hardware store and used a longer (~1.5") m6x1.0 bolt. And boom goes the dynamite.

I'm still trying to track down a local RHD vihicle to measure and do test fitments on.

We're playing catch up in the shop right now so it's going to be a few weeks before we have the next batch finished and ready to sell.

I always considered the Cusco part, but damn I'm loving this one. Be sure to let us know when the GB will be, I'd love to have one.

Finally almost caught up on stuff.

Should be starting the production run of braces tomorrow. Depending on how large a batch we do, they should be ready to ship near the end of next week.

Early next week the latest batch of DTSS bushings should be finished. Mid week the rear diff mounts should be done and then I can begin on a prototype of a front diff mount. And somewhere in there I'm expecting we will have the first batch of white shift ***** finished.

2" round Delrin *****. We already make them in black, but due to many requests are expanding to also offer white.

Not yet. Need to find a RHD RX-7 to look at. If I'm lucky it's a simple matter of flipping the holes.

Not yet. Half way finished the machining right now. It's looking like this time next week they may be ready to go depending on how long it takes to get the anodizing done.

My main employee has been out all week with a back injury, which has really slowed things down at the shop. I am however quite happy to report that I have a fairly large batch of braces finished and ready to be dropped off for anodizing. This means they should be ready to ship Wednesday or Thursday.

Just waiting for my big box of parts to get back from the anodizing shop. I was told Thursday so they should be ready to go Thursday night or Friday depending on how long photos take to do. I have to remember to keep one set aside for my FC this time

Now in stock and ready to ship. I should have enough to keep up with demand, but if the link stops working, it's because we've run out and are making more.

$90 Shipped
