Just recieved a front brace from Keith at glowplug, looks just like the kit plastic ones (sizewise) nice blue finish, good fit etc.

Keith is good on the email, quick replys, answers questions and now seems to be selling on eBay for much the same cost, item number 6032539273.

He suggests running a second (same front brace) upside down as leading brace in the rear, "we use the brace for the leading side in the rear upside down, and use longer bolts with lock nuts (traction tip: don't use any shims) Bolt length is 14 mm."

The front brace has the same hole centers (for stering pins) as the kit BR rear leading brace approx 36.25mm, the BF (I assume an alternative to BR) is nearer 38.5mm.

I make the other "trailing" rear brace A15 at 37.5mm, A25 at 39mm and A30 at 40.5mm.

I can see changing the angle on the rear suspension arms (moving the wheels forwards & backwards) is interesting, but how would you apply this to setups and circuits ?

I hope people find this usefull, I am not trying to plug or sell Keith's brace, it just looks good to me, and the service was good as well.
