Engine braces group buy

[extrap]

Arrived! Great packing! Beautiful braces! Thanks John! (@pe2unia) Can't wait to install 'em! I'm gonna be Captain Safety and put some light jack pressure under the firewall ... hey, that's just me

Have you ever seen a FGT frame? When they were doing some destructive testing (I think it was twist), the frame was so strong, it broke the testing machine.

Good! Wait ... what are these braces for? And there's not just 2 but 4 of 'em

You may end up putting the braces under tension by putting a jack under the firewall frame. Just replace them one at a time. When you remove the first bolt, you’ll see whether there are any forces on the brace. If there are, then jack accordingly. But given the rigidity of the structure (discussed above), I doubt that jacking will make a noticeable difference.

Can’t wait! Terrible to be so far down the list but can’t wait to get my set! Everyone in the first 7 get some pictures posted!

Anybody going to paint them the silver color of the OEM units?

For color no, but if I don’t like the look of how they are finished then I might.

I'm installing them raw first, and someday might reconsider if I want a change, or start seeing oxidation. My car will prob never be in rain or even much humidity, so hopefully they stay nice.

They definitely look fantastic raw. I am just thinking more of an OEM look could work too.

That crossed my mind, too, but with the blingy reservoir caps and Accufab X pipe the bay should look pretty cohesive.

Installed - No jack needed

Received mine today and this is my plan. They really are beautiful they way they are now, I just like a more subtle approach.

Anyone have powder part number that matches the OE brace color?
