I finally got my FEED torque brace working properly with the ABS still installed. It took a lot of time and a few trips to the store but I got it sorted out.



Now, unfortunately for me, I bought mine a week before the whole group buy started which left me $50 out. (I know, you're all crying a river for me). So, if everyone here, being a community after all would like to donate $2.50 from their brace purchase to me that would cover the extra $50 I had to pay ;( I would really appreciate it. Consider it thanks for my hard work in finding a way to fit this thing on our cars.



Send payments to: palejewei@aol.com



And email me for pics of the brace setup.

I also made a small improvement. I managed to design- in an on-the-fly adjustment for moving more preload to and from the driver's side engine mount. For those you want to load it all the way up, or for those who want a more mile preload. Simple turn of a wrench.

Well, I think I'm fixing to get one and if it'll save me 3-4 trips to HD and a bunch of bull **** I dont mind giving you $2.50 for some pics and a decent write up including a Home Depot shopping list to make it work right.



BTW - the way you did your is it going straight across or is it at a angle like some of the others I've seen???

It is almost straight across. It reduces the angle greatly from what I've seen other do so that it is maybe 15-20degrees off of parallel vs. the 40-45 I've seen on other cars. The biggest advantage of doing it this way is it allows you to add or reduce the preload on the driver's side engine mount.



SPOautos, I'd be glad to make a full Home Depot shopping list. Once you know what you're getting (no trial and error) it'll probably cost you about $1.05. :-D

That's actually the first thing I've got to do is procure a dig camera so I can take some detailed photos of it.
