Feeler: custom tower braces

[der affe]

good first attempt, you are on the right track with your design.

When I get some fun money it is going to round tubing. I am thinking a batch of 5 and seeing how they sell.

FYI to anyone wanting front braces...I will need money to buy a tubing bender. When I get one I will start in on those, just juggling life, car build, bills etc.

Don't understand what "status"...but here is fitment with GC tower mounts.

Maybe I missed something, are you not yet selling front/rear bars?

I am currently next to broke(e30 pit) and have three cars to build. At the moment I am putting the braces on hold to get my life caught up.

100-250 for manuel tubing bender(depends on brand)

200-250(quote from shop, price includes small batch) for program to make the plate(this allows me to have batches made).

Tubing(round) then has to be bought. I am guessing about 200 for enough to get started.

So I am figuring around 700ish to get in the spot to make these.

Not sure on pricing right now, the rear one will have three options. 1. Simple design just for shock bracing. 2. Tower and shock bracing. 3. Shock, tower and floor bracing(will not bolt into diff, mounts using a 1/8 plate on the bottom).

Brace 1: 100
>Shipped
Brace 2: 180

Brace 3: 280-300(will include everything but bolts)

For right now my m50 turbo means more to me. Also I have to get the m50 in so I can make a brace from scratch to get the template made for batches.

This all takes time and I am short on it when I have two motors to finish and work on three cars. Then when I have time I work on my track build. I expect to have a brace for the members to view by summer 2012.

Braces I will be offering by then will be M50 fitment and b25. I have a friend that has a M30, so if he stops by I will make one to build off of to offer.

So I know people want these and I would LOVE to have the time to make them. I just cannot do that with working and dumping the money into my build to get my e30 back. I hope you guys understand =)

EDIT:

The front braces will allow clearance for camber plates. You will be given the option to drill and bolt to the tower, like I did in my rear brace. I will be using the inner strut mount bolts to attach to the strut. Thus allowing for full camber and caster adjustment.
