Jon
Did you ever make one. I would be interested if you could make one for me.
Fastback Thomas Posted - 20 Sep 2012 : 10:18:45
Well Jon, that would be great!! ;)
I'd rather have it a bit stronger, because if they were a bit flimsy as Glen says, I'd be better of with a new one any way! ;)

Thanks,
Thomas

Yes; way way way too much. The factory brace wasn't that well located and was a very flimsy affair. Best to re-engineer something; that one looked past its best to me. G

Dont worry im sure i can knock one of these up when i get a spare 5 mins off the pictures of the listing. May not be the identical dimensions but should look close to the original. I will make some templates so i can make you one if you like

Hi Jon
I have one on my Fastback and will help you to make one. I am a very busy person, so it can take some time.
Regards Jan
