what exactly does the kafer brace do? what are some ways to get my 69 to ride like it's on 'rails'? what are some other ways to get the best handling possible out of my standard?

poor boy,

The kafer brace basically makes sure your engine doesn't move in any direction. Right now, your 69's engine is cantelevered out from the frame horns and if you push and pull on it, the engine moves up and down pretty easily. The kafer brace keeps it in one spot and prevents wheel hop.

If you want to make yer 69 handle, get some sway bars ( have a 24mm front and 27mm rear, both adjustable), good shocks, and tires. If you want, you can upgrade yer rear torsion bars to a larger diameter (I plan on using 30mm long bars). Good luck.

Nick
