Ok. Cody gave me his unmodded one in return. I will mod that one and bring it to KINOD.

Thanks again, Steve! Finally, after two years, my hyperblink is gone!

you find some steel plate, maybe 2-3mm thick, cut it to size, drill holes, paint it, boom - done. It's just a backing plate for the third mounting point on the STB so it distributes the load over a wider area and not directly to the thin sheetmetal of the firewall.

you're not engineering a jet engine here.

look at this...



it doesn't have to be this fancy a piece of flat stock would work.

those triangulated STBs are called "LeMans-style" braces.

yeahh, dustin told me i was overthinking as well. i just have a paranoia of fucking things up cause everything seems to be harder than it looks. now i wish i got that brace...

My arms are getting more of a workout at home with our temporary make-shift rig than at my work, pushing and pulling up karts. Lol.

Hmm I say every time a motorcycle cop loses a traffic ticket case against a civi, he has to do a week of this.

I guarantee you we'd either be supremely entertained, or they will stop harassing people for 3mph over.

HUGE Thank You goes out to Steve (KFJ) for helping (read:doing) with my 1.6 to 1.8 brake swap. I would've been completely lost if I would've tried to tackle it alone and likely end up with a big mess of non-working parts. A big thank you also to Andrew, Matt (MarsupialQuadron), Chris(cjsafski) for helping and especially Tom(Eunos96) for having us over.
