Kafer-cup brace body mods
I am just currently replacing the suspension mount panel on my right rear inner wheel arch. This panel has a hole in it to help clear the shock mounting, but I will be using a kaffer cup brace also. Does any one have any pictures, or is able to descibe, of the body mods required to accomodate this part? It looks like I might have to cut down from the hole to the bottom (which I would have thought would weaken that area)..

But other bars may be different?

If you are worried about stiffness there you can cut two pieces and weld them around there one each side. Just make a template first in order to get the outline of the cut down area correct.

Hello Chris,
Who did you buy the kafer cup brace from is it the 5 or 3 bar setup. Also does the shifter bolt onto your chassis witout modifications, does the shifter have the original shift pattern or is it straight gated.
