Default 91 Camber brace

Well guys Dave has done it again, he came through where others would probably leave us hanging. He made all the neccisary changes to the brace to get it to clear everything. I have pictures but they are pretty big, if you guys want I will post them, or if someone wants to resize them for me that would be cool too.
Here's to Dave at R&D great guy to work with :cheers:

oops forgot one this is the original sitting in front of the new one



in this one you can see it didn't clear the A/C collector, I had to loosen it and raise it up to clear





In this one you can see I had to remove the top bolt on the PS resivor, I still had to leave the top bolt off, but I can take the cap off now

the angle on yours is a little different, but the collectors are the same
I had to look at the picture on his paper several times before I recognized the difference

Kale,

I have been working with Isaac a couple of weeks to resolve the issues on the late 90-91 models. I'll be shipping the new style brace to you Monday AM. I held your order because I knew we were close to getting the new style completed.

Bill,

The new design is for the later 90 to 91 models that have the square PS reservoir on the driver's side. Some of the earlier 90's still used the round one and the regular L-98 brace still fits. Let me know if we need to exchange yours.

Thanks,
Dave

No Ordinary 91,

Isaac, I want say "Thanks" for all your effort and work in helping to get this model of the Camber-brace redesigned. I know you had to get tired of my 50 questions, but I'm glad we got something that worked for you and everyone else.

THANKS, :seeya

PS - Toeveryone that has a 90-91 model that I have been holding the orders on, they will be shipping out this coming Monday morning. Sorry for the delay.

Dave, when I ordered from the mall, I didn't specify that mine is a 91. My name is Brian Reed, just wondering if you have put my order on hold too.

Ok Dave,
my 90 is the square type, but I want to hold off on the exchange to see what happens if I get this supercharger project rolling.
Thanks.

well, it's an 86 so the PS is different, but I was curious about the A/C unit, since it appears fairly similar. The space between the tensioner and A/C unit is fairly small. Doesn't "look" like it would need to be adjusted, but i don't know how thick this bar is, and I'm wrong all the time :p: In any event. I look forward to installing it :)
