Front K-member braces

Selling stock front k-members braces. They are the triangular type that were installed on later models. If your car doesnt have this, it is still ready for them. Holes are already there. Heres your chance to stiffen up your car for cheap. Spohn sells his for 65. Im asking 35$ for both. This is for the braces only, I dont have the bolts.

ITEM IS IN CANADA.
Keep shipping cost in mind, my zip code is J3G 6T3 for shipping quotes.

They are braces that bolts to the front of the k-member. Newer cars had them stock (not sure which year they all had it). Earlier cars didnt. Its a good way to stiffen up the front and avoid stress cracks.

Re: Front K-member braces

Cool.

I have a 1988 GTA and I don't remember seeing them on my car the last time I was under it, but then again...I wasn't really paying attention either. I doubt I have them though. Do they connect to anything else besides the k-member?

Just an FYI: My 85 IROC is equipped with them.

Re: Front K-member braces

I think all high end models had them. IROCs and GTAs. They connect the crossmember to the front frame rails, near the steering box and the air pump.
