Hello Binder Brethren,
Since 1998 we have been building an improved straight steer design. We looked at what was offered and thought we can do better. We examined the current offerings and came up with 3 improvements. We are the exclusive manufacturer of this redesigned brace. Accept no inferior substitute!!
#1. I made our brace out of 1 piece CNC produced 1/2" A572 hardened steel to improve on the weaker 3/8" mild steel and multiple piece designed braces that are out there.
#2. I welded my corner tabs on in a jig. This eliminates a stress zone that bending steel causes. Anytime you bend steel at angles you introduce a stress zone that can eventually fatigue and crack out.
#3. I designed a cutout into the brace for clearance on the lower radiator hose. I hated the fact that you had to drain the radiator and remove the lower hose to cut about an inch off. This was necessary to keep the lower hose from rubbing on the brace and causing a cut failure in the hose.
#4. Competitors models measure short of the actual inside frame rail widths. As its installed your frame bows and crushes inward to tighten it up. Not good on steering geometry. Ours its a tap in (block of wood and a hammer) perfect fit.
#5. Competitors models make removing the oil pan impossible to very difficult without removing the brace. Ours solves this with plenty of room to service the oil pan gasket and internals.
I stamp a serial number into them before painting each of these braces with a heavy coating of Black Hammerite paint. Each brace come with new Bolts, stover top lock nuts, and easy instructions.
So with these 5 improvements our brace has become the Superior GoTo Strait steering brace when absolute function and durability is called for. Here are some pictures. Sorry bout the large size. I will work to get these resized.
So the choice is clear, get the best and have peace of mind!!
PRICE: $89.95(sure i know the others are some bucks less but you get what you pay for!!)
