so i got a set of gp bracing and found i had 2 pieces that wouldnt work the way they were. Also i was sick of the little coat hanger fender connectors so i modified some gp bars to work in place of them.:wtf:
i didnt think to get the camera until i smashed the ends already..
enjoy

basically i just think they look way better, and probably help out a little bit in the stiffness
 
I also did this on my Cutty only I didn't smash the end I just moved a mounting point. I dunno which idea I like better just different. I think these bars look a lot more appropriate for under the hood of a performance car.
 
the thing that effected the ride the most was the frame horn connector, i think it all should be pretty good once i get the f41 swaybars in there to compliment it all, as well as seat bracing and rear frame horns connected together
 
hmmm im going to take on such a task...only im going to make mine out of square stock.. looks good aaron
