Default RD Crossframe

About a month ago there was quite a stir about the new cross frame. Now there is nothing. Has anyone gotten one and installed it yet? I have a camber brace, and wondering about the the cross frame.

Wasn't someone planning on going down to Dave's garage and getting one put on? I thought that person was going to give some kind of impression after he got home?? Don't remember the particulars. It was a thread about the same thing though!

Yes, I remember the same thing. I guess no one is willing to be the first to try the new brace. I have to assume Dave has sold some, maybe he hasn't begun delivering. As I mentioned I have the camber brace and I'm wondering if I should get the Croosframe or Cross bar next. :steering:

I'd love one, but I can't afford the required ground clearance.

Hi Everyone,

I'm sure there'll be some feedback as soon as the weather clears up. I've shipped 19 units out so far, but all of them went to areas that have been getting a lot of rain lately and 12 of them did not go to Forum members. I've installed 2 in my shop with those customers being very satisfied. But, like all of my other products, the members of the Corvetteforum will be the best reviewers of all. I'm sure we'll start to hear some public feedback as soon as the weather gets warmer.

Thanks,
Dave Cooper

Did you get one intalled with the LT headers on? I am waiting to hear if it will fit with LT headers.

You may be talking about me, I went to Dave's shop to get the first E. water pump camber-brace. I did see the cross-frame and it definately is a quality upgrade. However, because of bad weather Dave didn't have his 96 with the cross-frame at the shop, and I didn't get to see it installed on an actual Vette.

It would be a great idea if some of you guys out there with cross frames, camber braces, harness bars etc could start posting some sketches with dimensions on the forum !!!!!!! :cheers:

General question, because lately the body flex has really been gettting on my nerves.....

And Dave - feel free to hop in here to answer......

What order would you recommend adding your components....I.e. if I could only get one at a time, which of the three should I get first?

Thanks!
