What do you guys think about this?


http://www.mpgheads.com/expbrac.htm


I wish it had a monte carlo bar option. Still not bad for the price. The stamp steel chrome ones are $50 and they're crappy. The TCP set up is like $700.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] TCP makes some nice stuff but, the prices are crazy![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

My MPG brace kit came in the mail Monday. I'm going to adapt it to my 1965 Falcon. The kit appears high quality. The folks at the TFFN forum recommended it. Hopefully it will be on this weekend.

Let me know how it goes in. I might E-mail them and see if they'll make a matching Monte Carlo bar.

It is easy if you own a plasma cutter and you can weld aluminum. You could probably cut the holes in the center of the shock tower plate with a jig saw if you were carefull. Still I can't weld to save my life, so I'm still screwed.

Without the monte carlo bar don't bother. The strength comes from the triangle of the Export brace and the Monte Carlo bar.

That's what I was thinking also. That and I really didn't want a mismatched looking combo.

I bounght my TCP export brace and monte carlo bar before they found Mustangs Plus and Gone in 60 sec.. Should have bought the P/S rack when it was 1200$, ya 1200$ now it is 2500$ Also their P/S pump and valve are 1600$ WTF. I would remove my left nut with a spoon before I bought anything from them, that is worse than what the gas companies have been doing to us. Cant believe folks are still paying thrier prices.

Evertime I open the catalog I stare at the billet aluminum pedals. Then I see the $100 price tag and think someone needs kicked in the ding-ding. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
