Posted - 20 Sep 2012 : 10:18:45 Well Jon, that would be great!! ;) I'd rather have it a bit stronger, because if they were a bit flimsy as Glen says, I'd be better of with a new one any way! ;)
Thanks, Thomas

Posted - 19 Sep 2012 : 18:54:01 Yes; way way way too much. The factory brace wasn't that well located and was a very flimsy affair. Best to re-engineer something; that one looked past its best to me. G |

Posted - 16 Sep 2012 : 14:41:57 Dont worry im sure i can knock one of these up when i get a spare 5 mins off the pictures of the listing. May not be the identical dimensions but should look close to the original. I will make some templates so i can make you one if you like
