The other day when I was bleeding my brake I notice that the master cylinder had quite a bit of flex. I did a quick search but it does not seam like anyone makes a brace for the S2000 until I saw this...........



Do you guys know who makes it and if its available in for a LHD?
Thanks!

Cusco and I think is only available for RHD

^ True. I've never seen one for LHD, though if you know a halfway decent metal fabricator/welder, they should be able to whip you up something custom without too much hassle. It's essentially a few strips of metal with the correct bends and proper holes.

I do, however, recall discussion that because of the opposing layout of LHD vs. RHD, that there isn't as much room available. The ABS or cruise is mounted differently, I think. Or maybe Im mistaken.

S2KPUDDYDAD to the rescue, maybe?

As they say Cusco make a RHD one.
Though we got an engineering co to make a batch of 30 for us at a lot less.
I guess you guys could do the same?

Hi Mikey

is there any different you feel afterward? cos i used to have one in my ae86 but i can't feel any improvement at all!!

Yep I had one on my 2ND S.
They wont fit +06 RHD's either as the drive by wire interface is in the way

I'd be interested in seeing photos or reading about that, if anything is on the internet. Did you have to remount/remove the cruise cont. box?

i whole-heartedly recommend you fitting one to your s.

i've got an entirely standard brake setup, byre the brace and have changed entire systems on previous cars i've owned, yet i could still feel a difference with this simple add-on.

worth having fab'd without a doubt.

I'm really interested in doing this myself after giving it some thought. I've lined up a possible fabricator and I'm working out the best materials for construction of a "mass-produced" part. Obviously my goal would be to make it as inexpensively as possible and offer it to other owners (just like in the thread I posted above).

Anybody have measurements of the RHD piece that they'd like to share to make my R&D adventure any easier?

As fitted to my car, I can tell the difference under hard breaking, there is much more 'feel' to the brake pedal. Cusco also recommend upgrading of metal brake lines and better brake fluid inling with fitting the BCS Brace.
