Here's something I just stumbled across...

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi..._PcY_BIN_Stores

It's an English company. From all the Airram pics I've looked at, this looks like it might just fit.

Has anyone got one of these?


There's also an adjustable one...

Pretty sure the first one won't fit, doesn't look very strong either.

Second one is adjustable, and they are about worthless.

I have an AirRam installed and I am 99% sure that design wont fit; really, the only alternative is to pass the bar in front of the AirRam, and that's not a few mm in front of the towers, it's more like a few cm... custom made is the only alternative I can think of based on what I have seen.

This is a pic I found of it fitted to a Tib but the angle makes it hard to tell exactly where it sits in relation to the IM. It looks like it clears the stock IM anyway.




Here is the basis for my highly (un-) scientific research...



Oh well... It was worth a shot!

LOL Did you find the person that owns that car? You could ask them for some better measurements.

It's one of the English guys on Zoe's UKHCS, Gary.

I'll see if I can get in touch with him.

That one looks custom.

Nice pic though.

BTW, you can't edit after 10 minutes thanks to Tim. It's been posted in the announcements section about a week ago.

Actually the one JonGTR posted looks like this one, but installed backwards.


Ok, maybe not exactly but what are the chances of reversing the install to set the bar back a couple inches?

^ Not sure I understand what you mean, Java... Mine would definitely not fit on backwards though, for 2 reasons:

1. Holes don't line up.

2. It steps up a bit at the back of my strut-tower, so the brackets cannot sit flush/level.

*Progress update*

I found Gary!

Here are some more pics of his strut-brace.

As you can see, I'm waiting to see if he's got any pics taken from better angles...
