So, has anyone installed that Kenny Brown chassis brace yet?

This question keeps coming up, but no one has installed it yet.

I am referring to the Kenny Brown chassis brace that no one seems to know about.

So, who has installed this mystery part?

To install the brace, you drill 2 holes per side. Then slide the mounting bracket into the sub frame and position the bracket so the bolts drop down thru the holes just drilled. Then place the brace against the frame and use the nuts to tightned it down to the bracket.
