sholdowa Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Was it this one?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=84752817 First one I've seen to fit an Escort that used 4 bolts to hold the struts in... the old Mk.1 strut braces sere huge and almost circular to get round any downdraught carbs that sere fitted. You should be ok with a straight one and sidedraughts tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excort Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 id pay $250 for a good looking one but duno what it really costs to get them custom made ? i thought about makeing some templates etc and getting them cut out of alloy then just get two angles weilded to them and get a bar off another strut brace which is the right size just bolt it to it wouldnt be hard to find one close anuf could just make them to suit the bar ...
