Alloy Fender Braces
 

Hi all,

Im currently working on some alloy fender braces for the GC8 and wondered what sort of interest I would have on these as it would be nice to get some numbers. The standard braces are made from thin sheet steel with some creases in so I managed to get hold of some Grp N rally ones and these are a lot more rigid but weigh a lot more aswell so I have developt some alloy replacements these should be as rigid as the Grp N rally ver. but are roughly half the weight, Im looking to retail these at approx £140 for a set, let me know if your interested.

Here is a pic of the prototype, the retail version will have the box section angled at 45 deg at each end to cover the plate more and increase strength even more, hopefuly I will get the first retail version complete next week and will get some pics up :)

What's a fender?

Inside front wing alcazar, theyre quite popular in the states

I see.
So do we need them here?

all subaru's have these braces as standard but they are normally a very thin flimsy bit of plate metal, and all the upgrade ones I have found so far are rally based and made from heavy steel so im making these as a light weight alternative, these are mainy for track cars as they would make no difference for road use.
