Shoot I think I'll get some measurements, some metal and borrow a welder and fab me some.

Do they really even help with tightening up the body?

you know when you have a large, heavy engine and the rear's stiff, then you corner, the front's softer a bit so it flexes then the rear just drives you into a spin? the fender braces help to combat the oversteer brought about by too-heavy engines.

or something like that. i need nicotine (off-topic sorry) :lol:

Here is a better choice for a fender brace. J's racing.
