The NEW "CROSS-FRAME" is done!!
I know a lot of Forum members have been really good on waiting for me to complete this project and I want to say "Thanks" to all.
The "Cross-frame" is done and ready for production. I am taking orders as of now. I have to get the information set up in the Mall, but until that is done you can give me a call.
Please check out our web site for details and lots of pictures.

YES!!!!
I just recieved the camber brace Friday and I must say it's a nice piece of work...
I will be ordering one soon, but I'm wondering if you had any impressions yet you could write up for us here...
My main motivating factor is top off flex... That's the only complaint I've really had with the C4s is that I can't enjoy it with the top off...
Very nice looking work...

I forgot to ask in the last post...
Do you have production/shipping dates yet... I'm going on vacation in a month so if you can get it to me before then I'll order one now...

I've got 2 orders ahead of you, but delvery should only be about 10 days.
To answer you first question, I used my 96 to proto-type off of and everything is rock solid now. I was going to install one for the pictures and then take it back off to sale, but after a 20 mile drive, I left it on. :yesnod:
Send me the order and I'll get it to you in time.
Thanks,

Dave what do the thread inserts look like?
I have a factory cross brace in my garage I want to install but I am not sure how to mount it in the back.. I would love to buy your brace, but funds won't allow it.

I'll let you know on the long tubes as soon as I get the headers installed on the race car. If they tuck in close to the floor board and you exhaust is higher than the floor, then there will be no problem. Reference the web site for where the frame crosses and try laying a straight edge on your car in the same area. If it clears, it will work.

Re: (NE14SIN)
How hard is it to install the threaded inserts? Also, where can I get them and about how much do they cost?
