Pandamonium Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've seen pics of front strut braces on the rear, has anyone here done their own?Is it as simple as cutting welds off, shortening the centre bar and then re-welding ends on?Ta Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 For the hassle and cost why not just buy a rear one? £40 u could get a used one to the door maybe even cheaper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 ^Hes right mate. Plus surely the bolts on the front are at a wider offset on the front struts compared to the rear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pandamonium Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Was only thinking as the one I got for the front of the gls doesnt fit, think its been either in car that had a front end bump or was bent in the post which seems unlikely, so I had to steal the GTs front brace for it, so I have a front strut lying around now that I cant sell or use on the front of a car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Awryt well youd be aswell jus rippin the ends off it n seein if the bolt holes match.If they do jus chop the bar and weld them back on if no then bin it lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pandamonium Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Thats the plan mate, was just wondering had anyone actually done their own before I waste time haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Have defo seen a front strut brace modded into a custom rear 3 point. It was green iirc, possibly in sales section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pandamonium Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Don't remember the 3point mate but it sounds like too much work lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
