This is with bumper fitted, you do have to take a bit off the bumper but with a bit more fettling it will fit better.:woot:

This was a quick fit but with a bit more care you could make it neater.
Looking forward to hearing from all interested parties. :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the orders guy's :thumbsup: all orders are processed and will be sent out tomorrow :thumbsup:
Thanks again steve

Payment sent. THANKS MATE! :thumbsup:

Our first international order :thumbsup: thanks siggy :) it's in the post this morning.

I saw Steve's brace at the weekend and it looks really smart, simple yet effective and really good quality :thumbsup:

Thanks Lee :thumbsup: For those of you that receive your braces today !!!! REMEMBER !!!! for best results use new inner hingepins and blocks. You may get away with your old ones, but mine were bent well out of shape:o:o We have also made them so the thread of the hingepin cuts the brace hole ;) The hingepins should be tight enough that you will not need the rear lock nut and washer, which also has the added benefit of not destroying your chassis and not binding up the suspension.
Hope everyone likes this product and good luck :)
Regards steve brew.

Got the braces on both my cars now, excellent work Steve.

When fitting, note to all: Loosen the M3 screws into the gearbox sides, and tighten them once the brace is on tightly... just makes things easier and line up with less chance of stress if anything is going to be stressed at all.

The other thing, the bumper mod is easy, just use a cutting disk on a dremel and take out a section immediately above the holes in the bumper exactly like Steve has done. I did mine really close to the screw holes as it needs to be, if not close enough then the bumper holes don't line up to the gearbox holes.

Oh, and I did try my first bumper mod with the small sanding drum, and it doesn't work. I shouldn't be so lazy and found the cutting disk. By using the drum I also reduced the depth of the screw holes in the bumper a little and although it'll be okay, its not as good as using a cutting disk and leaving the depth of the holes alone.

Good work Steve, fitting time about 5minutes once I stopped being lazy and used the cutting disk on the dremel. :lol:

Ran both my cars today, and gave them both plenty of abuse - the front screws and alloy blocks are as new...

I had to go find a shock in one qualifier, and in the final I crashed at the start quite hard, one corner was 6ft up in the bush at the end of the straight at Bury.... still all is good apart from wishbone, the hinge pin screw bent upwards only, so all it needs is hinge pin and wishbone.

Good work Steve... highly recommend this item

Thanks for the feed back chris :thumbsup: there's nothing like a proper racer to test items like this :)

I certainly crash tested them :lol:

Got it in the mail today! Real nice looking piece and an easy install as it fits perfect. Thanks!!!:thumbsup:

Glad you like it SIGGY :thumbsup:
Anybody at OZ on saturday who would like a brace. I will be there watching the racing, so if you want to save on postage and you see the braces on some of the cars and you like what you see.
Let me know on here and i can meet you. :)

Could a brace not be designed that fitted over the bumper rather than having to mod it?

I was thinking this also before i had this brace made and was told it would cost to much to make. :(
For the sake of cutting a bit out of the bumper its good to keep it simple. :)

straight lines are strongest, this part needs to be strong otherwise it'd be a waste of time. This brace is perfect just as it is. :thumbsup:

Front Brace
 

Hi Stegger

I am looking to get hold of one for the weekend. I can paypal asap. Do you have any in stock?

Thanks

Paul

Paul you have a pm fella:thumbsup:

next month i want one...:lol:

How does it look?
Do you have a photo?
Can you send it to Czech Republic as well?
Do you have a PAY PAL, or how can I pay to you?
Thanks
Karel

It looks factory as long as you dremel the bumper neatly. You need one of these asap, it'll save a lot of time and money in replacing screws and blocks... :thumbsup:

Hello karel yes i can send to the czech republic :)
Look at the photo's in this thread and you can see how it's mounted and what you have to do to modify the bumper, yes i do take paypal just pm me for details. :thumbsup:
Regards steve brew

I presume from the photo's it's designed to be used with two washers under the w/bone hangers?

P

stegger you have a pm.

Paul, 2mm washers are needed under each front brace.

G

Thanks Graham, I am also interested in a 1mm spacer one.

P

I wasn't thinking of anything complex, simply having a cut away to allow it to pass over the bumper with more metal below. So it would still be flat but more like :
o_o

than

o-o

i.e. more U shaped if that makes sense. (p.s. imagine the line is thicker than that I'm just trying to give an impression).

Anyway nice work on what you've done already :) I just don't want to dremel as I'm concerned it will create gaps that will let dirt in.

Hopefully schumacher are working on a fix themselves.

Stegger,
I also want one if you still have stock. I live in Belgium and have Paypal. Pm we with the details on costs and I make the transfer asap.
Thanks,:thumbsup:
