Hey guys,

Finally purchased a GT (midnight blue with stripes)! I've always liked the look of the aftermarket cross pattern billet engine braces. The Ford GT is one of those cars where engine aesthetics can be appreciated without lifting the hood. :)

I reached out to John (pe2unia) who makes these. They are out of stock but if we can get 5 commitments, he will make them. The price is $1,625 + shipping. There are 4 braces (upper and lower) as pictured and they are super easy to install. Anyone interested? Reply or PM.

I saw a set of these once and they are stunning.
 
What would the timeline look like? I would normally be interested, but we are really reducing non-essential spending right now.
 
You won’t be sorry, love mine. The caps in the photo are nice too
 
The caps were made by Project 321, not pe2unia. They dont make them any longer.

Based on the current schedule it looks like approximately 8 weeks to completion time.

You sure? As of 3-4 weeks ago they were still listed on their site as purchasable.....I was on there looking at pricing.
 
Mentioned on this site, they made one last production run, then what they has was it. Maybe some pieces are still available.

The Last of the Last

Hi All, Unfortunately we have made the tough decision that we will not be doing another run of the Ford GT caps and coil covers again. That being said we do have a few left in stock so if you were waiting to order or undecided now is the time. They are up on our website and here is a link...

At the time of shipping
 
John's braces are works of art and really compliment the engine compartment in the GT! One of those items that that just belong on any GT.

Looks like we may have THREE so far. Need TWO more. Anyone on the fence? :)

Kendall, is that one of your TT builds? Gorgeous! What hp?
 
If you're considering his "braces", those are works of art, you really need to consider his top and side vents, especially if you're planning on driving your car!!! The heat from the engine will warp the top (painted) vents, the clips will dry out, and give way! I had the top vents sent directly to Rich (GT Guy) who smoothed them, and painted them perfectly to match the OEM ones.

You can't go wrong with these.
Had mine powdered coated locally.
Would caution that newly machined aluminium needs to outgas before you powder coat..
Needed to do mine twice.
Just a heads up.
Absolutely nothing to do with this product.
Best,
Mark
 
How long to outgas before powder coating? Are they manufactured just before shipping?
 
Not sure of manufacture vs shipping dates, but my powder guy claimed 4 weeks after machining before powder.
I can't really substantiate his claim, but the 2nd go round on the powder went much better then the first.
Just my prior experience.
Best,
Mark
