Bracing shock towers?

Hi Folks!!

The Frame Rail Lower Raditor Core Support Brace (phew - thats a mouthful, not to self - need a better name for this!!@) is available from us for $129, it is not listed on the web site - we are building a new store and all the products will be better displayed on the new store site.

Here is a look at the early beta version of the store (credit card processing is not hooked up and most products are not there yet, but have a peek)

OK. Our Frame Rail Lower Raditor Core Support Brace can be installed two ways. Way one is the method shown on the orange car - with the brace installed behind the original core support. Very hidden this way, but in the way of the lower tank on a stock vertical flow radiator. If you plan to use an aluminum crodd flow raditor, the brace actually makes a great mount for the radiator!!

Here is a link to a picture of us doing just this on a 68 SS Hemi Clone car. You can see an aluminum half tube over the Frame Rail Lower Raditor Core Support Brace which is poainted white and a little hard to see. The raditor mounts ontop of the Aluminum mount and is held in with a similar top mount. Very trick, very solid and very easy to remove (one bolt!)

OK, method 2 for installation is to use the spacers we supply to mount the brace BELOW the OEM core support. Not in the way at all of the raditor, but more visible below the car.

So, there you have it - you can choose to mont the brace behing the OEM core support or you can remove the original core support and just iuse the brace or mount it below. Each has a different look.

Hope that helps!
