S14 tunnel Brace's PLEASE READ

[s14unimog]

I was looking around SPLparts.com and I came across the HKS Kansai tunnel brace, which retails for $481 plus shipping and tax.... I made one for my personal car and I was wondering if any one else wanted one for there s14. Of course I'm not gunna charge tax and its not gunna cost 481 for the set.
So I guess I'm "testing the waters". If you would like one please PM me or email me at [email protected] I'm not saying send me money, All I'm trying to see is if enough people would wantthis part then I will start make more... If you guys are interested then I will make them and send you a picture of your part before I get any money......Please let me know what you think.... go to http://www.splparts.com if you wanna see a picture
Thanks, Brandon

Well I realized somoething today while working on the brace's. the front one hangs down and becomes the lowest thing under the car.. my car is only lowered about 1.2" and it doesn't look safe.. but, IF you want it I will still offer it for you. I also checked up on this for the HKS one and it also hangs low and is not recomended for the street use. Reguardless I am half way done with the rear brace and I should have a picture ready by saturday.

I'm pricing the rear one alone at 175

[only1.3]

so you couldnt custom make the front so t doesnt sit so low?

I have 3" exhaust from the manafold back so I am dealing with the largest pipe meaning if I make one it has to beable to clear at least 3". you might have stock and it would be ok but some guy with 3" might not like it.. I'm not saying that its horriable but I'm just worried if you hit that on something then it would reall mess you up. I sorta "set" it in place today just to see what it looked like and noticed it then. I will look for other options tomorrow. I should have both bars done by saturday so I will have pics fro ya'll to judge

Thanks, Brandon

A better design would be like the DoLuck ladder bar that sits further forward, tying into a stronger part of the framerail, and clearing the exhaust completely. The Kansai brace bolts to a basically hollow portion of single plate rail and is non-adjustable, meaning it's pretty useless.

....and, a 3" pipe is NOT the biggest exhaust for a 240 either, what if I had the APEX'i GT spec exhaust? Hmmmm, oh well, and good luck. C-ya ho!!!

3.8" pipe :rawk:

yea cause he was talking about a catback :goyou:

the front one would be by the downpipe. could you run it kinda by the tranny cross member so it a little higher up? i cant tell very much from the pic on SPL.

Thanks for the info Russ but the Kansie Brace and the Du Luck latter bar are two different braces alltogether and on another note just because its adjustable it doesn't mean that its better... Just keep buying parts fro your car like you've been doing

Will do Scooter. You keep making half ass copies of chit that are useless like you've been doing. And keep arguing to people about how you having a welder at your house makes you a real man.

And catch the next spelling lesson they give out at school, you're lacking.
