Hi All,I managed to get a Whiteline strutbrace for our two litre 7 from Demon Tweeks but that was a couple of years ago and I know they still had one in stock, might be worth contacting them,you never know it could still be on their shelves.[;)]
My Glen Oliver strut brace on the V8 is certainly a worth while investment, not only looks great but improves the handeling immensly.
Cheers

Hi,

I installed the strut brace, i picked up from Glen, this afternoon. Easy fit no ' adjustments ' required, which is no suprise as seen the jig these are assembled on so everyone fits as the last one made before will do [:)]

Took her up the road, and IMHO stiffened up the car for sure. With rear roll over hoop now feels as stiff as a FHC [8D]

A couple of pictures of the brace on mine =

Went to Glens on Sunday and tried the Brace on a standard engined car. Fouls on SU's so no good for standard car.
GLen, Thanks for the Massive breakfast at 1pm. Could not eat my tea later! Still full!
