DIY cheap strut brace.

I bought an S14 strut brace from super cheap as they were on sale for $9.95, with the hope that I could modify to suit my 1200.
Finally got around to doing it, not quite finished yet but I thought I'd put up a couple of pics (sorry about the quality!) Just cut off mounts, turn strut plate around & weld on some new mounts, about 90 minutes work & easy. Attach file:  strut brace end.JPG (31.73 KB) Trial fit.JPG (48.89 KB)

not really...i think he payed about $10 for each brace, and the brackets he made look a little more profesional

I'm suprised you can see how crap my brackets are from these sh!thouse phone pics :)
Just made these out of angle iron as a test piece.

My time to build a Strut brace is approaching fast, have designed camber/castor plates for the ute that incorporates brackets for fitting a strut brace, just need the time.
