I know you can't buy these things , so I'm going to make a few. A few things I need to know:
1. are all 1200 strut towers the same? - same tower bore size ? , I measured mine at 100mm OD so a tower brace with a 102mm ID will be a neat fir over the small radius at the bottom ( outside) of the bore.
2. will a brace sitting just above the lowest point of the tower clear most down draft carbies and aircleaners or other engine mods?- I run a side draft so theres no clearance problems for me.
3.How many people would be interested?

I'll have to price the cost of making these - thinking maybe powder coated black with stainless nuts and bolts.
Jason.

I made mine for under $40.
$30 to have the strut plates CNC water cut and drilled to supplied dimensions, and a few bucks for some thick wall tube from a scrap metal place.
that's probably cheaper than the frieght alone from WA.

I was going to say something similar, but my mum always said "If you can't say anything nice... say nothing at all". But I rarely take this advice.

There are a few Perth people around that might be interested though.
