the only thing i don't have to make this kind of thing is time, I bought the spoon front X brace and i could knock them up in a couple of hours, less if i jigged up. I think i can get hold of some stainless box section so may have a go at making the rear one, looking at the one in the link i posted and the one you fitted do you not think an X brace connecting all 4 points might be the "ultimate" set up?

This is the one I am tempted by, said to make the diff quieter too



There is also this ASM S/S one which connects to the rear seat fixings



I did this drawing as a possible way of adding some pieces to a box section bar to triangulate it with the pins locating into those large holes in the beams

how would that brace make the diff quieter shopman? just interested thats all

Shopman

I don't know. The bracket attaches to the diff mounting bolts so perhaps it locates and stiffens up the mounting.
I read the comment from someone who had fitted the Beatrush bar.

shopman.. re the one that goes to the rear seat mountings is that going forwards where the gold one goes backwards, what would you end up with if you combined the 2?

i only ask as i have just bought a new diff (awaiting to be fitted) and wouldnt mind geting some sort of brace fitted while am at it, kill 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak. just can't see how it would quiet things down?

Yeah, but its diminishing returns I think. There is an offset ramp on our estate where the new tarmac has been laid. The flex it used to produce was high, now it is the suspension taking the force - really quite a difference.

I have heard that the Rear subframe reinforcement kit is the proverbial 'balls' though, but it's

Is that a kit to do this?
