(IE: before I actually post a message.) All I see is the person(s) ID #'s (even if innacurate) in the header of the draft post. I'm curious as to what Chris is seeing and why. Browser specific issue maybe?

No matter. Unimportant.

Happy day after Christmas everyone!

I think your own post needs to be part of what you are quoting, in order to see your own user ID (you are 1886). Happy day after Christmas to you as well, and apologies to @AudiSport for the detour away from that brace...

Happy Boxing Day!
So, back to braces….the bore I used is very thick (1/8”?) and the concept is to transfer the load to the brake booster mount, that has a very strong structure on the cabin side of the firewall. I don’t really care for the way it is supposed to be installed. You drill the firewall and through bolt the plate with lots of washers as shims. The firewall is not flat so most of the new bolts have to be shimmed between the plate and the firewall. Way better to weld it in place but you need to take everything apart to do that. Removing the brake booster when your interior is in place is a pain!
