Description

EXPORT BRACE, Late Style, chrome, repro, imported, Late style brace has the firewall mounting holes in two groups, Groups measure 1 29/32” and 4 7/8” between groups, This reproduction has the reinforcing contours not quite as deep and crisp as the original Ford brace, The one piece export brace replaces the original two piece braces and exponentially increases the rigidity between the shock towers and cowl area, Originally designed for export cars where the roads tended to be more rough than US roads and the extra stiffness helped to keep shock tower flex to a minimum, The brace keeps the shock towers from collapsing inward and keeps camber adjustments more consistent, When you install this bar you may notice that the shock tower bolt holes do not line up, This is due to the shock tower flexing inward, We suggest you install the cowl bolts loose and then fit the shock tower bolts, It may be necessary to spread the shock towers outward to fit the brace and return the towers to their original designed position, Make sure to check your front end alignment after installation, See 16A053-3B, 16A053-3C for reinforcement plate and 16A052-1AK, 16A052-1BK, 16A052-2AK, 16A052-2AK, 16A052-2BK, 16A052-3K, 16A052-4K for mounting hardware options,

Fit up perfectly, to my surprise. Never questioned the quality of the part, only hoped my shock towers hadn’t flexed too far in over the years. High quality finish, and the fit was great.
