    Interested in a bare one. Jason at AutoCycle powdercoating in Red Bank does great work and very reasonable if you're looking for a different finish. I'll volunteer for a test fit if needed.

      Alright guys, no dice on the M20 fitment. I could sneak it by the manifold but the throttle cables just won't clear. I'll be keeping this design for the M/S5x swap guys, and it's back to the drawing board for a design that will work for both the M20's and M30's. Thanks for the help and feedback so far. I'll have the M/S5X bar up on group buy next week, and I'll have an M20/30 design ready for group buy in two weeks.

          Once I get the M20/M30 covered I'll start looking into other swaps. Even if I don't mass produce them I'm more than happy to make custom parts, as long as I can find a way to mock it up on a car or get really good measurements.

            After getting a close up look at these, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the M20 et al. High quality, great work and well thought out. Can't imagine why anyone with an M/S5x swap wouldn't love this brace. Good job!

                    I wanted to let everyone know that I haven't forgotten about you. A few weeks ago my computer was stolen out of my truck. It had all of my design work on it (roll cages, chassis components, etc). This set me back a quite a bit in my day to day work, so I'm just getting caught up. I will be offering products still, it will just take me a bit longer to than I thought.

                    I'd like to thank everyone for the interest and input so far.

                      Sorry about the computer - hope you had most of your stuff backed up!

                      Any chance you can test fit the current design on an M42? A lot of S5x/m5x stuff seems to fit (I think M42s are kinda just M50s with 2 cylinders chopped off), so it might work no problem.

                          Thanks. Unfortunately the software I use doesn't allow me to transfer files out, so I lost everything. Just starting all over again.

                          What I hope to do is test fit the current model on an M42, build a different design to fit an M20, and hopefully get my hands on an IX so that I can build something to accommodate that chassis as well. Stay tuned.
