Strut top brace.

Alec Dawe · May 26th, 2006, 20:15

Does anyone know if there is a strut brace available for the 240 at all, or failing that, is it possible to get one made up?

Yes strut braces are available. There are two types 1 goes across the tops and the other one goes back to the bulkhead.

Yes they are available. There are three types - strut to strut (these are regularly on ebay), also there is one from strut top to bulkhead at 45 degrees (pair) in addition a bottom one was available. They are quite available from Australia as well.

I know IPD sells them, somebody like Dai - Classic Swede could probably source/supply one, do the 200's have the lower brace as well ?. I'm going to have to learn to type faster.

Hi mike,

We both may have got our strut braces from the same source (ebay) !. If so I found that I had to lengthen the hole on the bar for the bulk headside to get the bolts to line up with the holes on the bulkhead..

regards
