Si (AKA confused again lol)

Si, there is a metal plate that goes under the floor pan that you bolt to. Two small holes have to be drilled.

If I remember tonight I will take some pictures.

Si, sorry for the delay.




This is the 40Phi rear. (could use the carbon unit if pref.)

Does the parcel shelf still fit with something like that?

[Fishy]

There is no connection for it, so I just push it up to the brace.

I still like to hide stuff in the so-called boot. :rollin

now that is kewl!!
[retard mode on thou ] is the bottom 2 bits of the triangle which go to the central bit all you get when you order the triangle & then it just matches up with whatever strut brace you have going from 1 side to the other or erm other just not sure how the whole rear strut brace & rear triangle come together

The triangle bars are seperate from the main brace. I would imagine that they would bolt to any of the Cusco braces.

On this subject, does anyone know where i can get my hands on the black covers for the rear struts top mountings?

The guy how put the strut brace in my one obviously went a little crazy on saving weight and left them out!! I\'m not to fussed but it would be nice to get some to finish it off rather than having the mounting bolts on show....

[scooby_si]

so the nice shiny horizontal bar is that actually part of the triangle brace or is that the seperate cusco un if so which one is it? Proper blingy thou

PS cheers for pikkies :god

OK the top brace is the 40 Phi brace, this is also in carbon.

The triangle bits are the two bars going to the floorpan.

Each part is sold on its own.

40 phi is that a cusco brace then if so which is it, or is it not among options on http://www.takakaira.co.jp/performance/cusco/cusco.asp?index=strutbar as none decribed as phi i presume it\'s that funny little symbol which i can\'t find anywhere on keyboard as there\'s a carbon version of that it seems? Hmm hadnt considered that un i was more looking at OS uns but that does look proper bo i tell thee lol

Si, why all the need for silly faces and smiles in every post? Cant work it out.

Cusco Braces

I have the 5th picture down as my front brace, and the 4th brace just straight at the rear.

At the bottom of the page is triangle floor brace, which itelf is the flat oval shaft.

[scooby_si]

looks like i\'ll need to move interchanger at least but out of interest with regards the plastic strut mounting bits is there a little square or something that easily pops out as looking at the attached pikky it looks like it\'s a kinda allround jobby at the minute

Heres my front one - Cusco again!

I seem to have a stock rear one - no pics though - as it has a plastic cover.

PS - this is an old pic, the engine is a bit cleaner now!
