[mad-ass]

Finally got around installing the fender brace I got form Jonnie F. of Stealth Custom Fab on my purple S14. I always tend to have parts laying around for ever before I decide to install them.

All his parts are laser cut and hand welded. every parts that I've have bought them Jonnie has always had perfect fitment.


Now, go ahead and take your front end a part as seen in pictures below.

Undo the top bolt of the top bracket and bottom two bolts. put the fender brace on and bolt them down.

Included is the circular cutting tool with every fender brace[yes, he gives you a brand new tool, even red thread lock!] go ahead and make a hole and drill out two additional holes to bolt the brace down.

using your hand or a pair of pliers, hold the nut brackets in place and bolt down the included hardware. remember to put thread lock on them before hand.

You probably noticed it by now, I generously spray painted the area that I just cut up so it doesn't rust up on me. i went ahead and taped up the hole that was made so water/debree doesn't get into the fender rail.

you still have room to tuck your harness after you have installed the fender brace. I actually used the cross beam to zip tie up the wire harness out of the way.

Don't you have an S13? The S13 and S14 fender braces are different. On the S13 there is a big hole that you can insert the nut plate into. On the S14 the access hole must be drilled.

Why are the fender braces not on the website under the Nissan product section?

They are not on there because I am a much better fabricator than a web site guy. Lol

We are in the process of updating the site with new pics and write-ups. With Lee's permission I would like to use his write up on the site.
