Are you talking about the torque brace?

I think he means the motor mount/brace. But I can't answer that question... I think GSL-SE frontcover/crossmember should work. So no RB brace needed. But like I said, not sure. No GSL-SE's sold over here...

The Racing Beat Manual/Catalog states that: The stock Mazda front engine mount for a 1984-85 13B GSL-SE will not work because of the differences in the front crossmember.
The regular SA mount will work if slotted appropriately.

I thought he had a GSL-SE... The RB brace is made for putting a 13B into a 12A chassis. The GSL-SE mount won't work on 12A cars, but if you have a GSL-SE crossmember, or a GSL-SE for that matter, you don't need the RB brace. So what's the crossmember? What car?
*former 12A: need brace (or modified 12A)
*gsl-se: don't need it, just bolt on the GSL-SE front
cover onto the TII
*former 12A with GSL-SE crossmember: probable
becomes a GSL-SE in this case.

D'oh. I thought s/he meant torque brace

I read gen1mike's profile before posting and he's got on there a 1979...hmmm maybe he does have a GSL-SE?
