Thank you Trackerrrr!

Looks like I am still on the hunt for strut brace. SOHiperformance cancelled my order today saying they no longer carry it. Anyone have any to sell. I am looking for two.

What about fabbing up your own? Do up some paper templates for the mounts and cut/weld them up then work on the crossbar. Or if you've got a buddy handy with AutoCAD they could design some also.
A few places that might have them:

I suspect these places may not have it in stock but still list it on their sites...
-
Trackerrrr....all good points and you are right...so far, if they show it on their websites, they do not have stock. SOHi actually showed it in stock, took my order/payment and then came back a day later to cancel the order and refund my money citing that it is no longer available. Sportcompactwarehouse has no stock. Goparts and AutoAccessories show available, but they are going to confirm with Whiteline, but I suspect what the answer will be. modern capri is absolutely absurb on their pricing.
I had touched base with Rocketman during my search. He is going to consider making some more if he can get a group order. He asked for some time to work through that.
-
You can use a Mazda 323 BF Brace aswell. I know Ultra Racing has a few on stock on ebay IIRC it was 120$. Whiteline has a few on eBay too last I checked.
-
WashiestSnake....are you referring to this one?

Nope that one is the BG model 323 that will not fit our cars. You need the 1986 model.
-
thanks.
-
I'm interested in one from Rocketman. Put me down for the group order. Thanks.
-
FYI, I sent a message to Whiteline and asked if they had any more of the Capri braces anywhere with any dealer. Waiting on a reply...
-
thanks and interested in what you hear back. I tried various vendors and even one that said Whiteline would make it on a nonrefundable order. All ended up cancelling the orders and refunded my money.
-
Trackerrrr....did you ever hear anything back from Whiteline?
-
Nope, I'll ping them again.
-
I too would love a strut bar for my car, I seen that roo sport had some advertised they looked very nice and we're only about $85 I haven't tried to buy them but I'm not sure if they even carry them still
-
Don't quote me, but I think I got one of the last two he had and now he isn't on eBay for the moment. I hope he'll be back.

I finally got a response back from a Whiteline rep and he's checking on this now...
-
Drum roll...................
-
And they have none. Not unexpected but I was hoping they might have one or two hiding on a dusty shelf... :'(
-
Drum roll...................
PM sent to you about a possible find also...
-
Trackerrrr......Did you get my email responses?
-
Trackerrrr......Did you get my email responses?
Yes, replies sent.
-
Trackerrrr, can you get the strut bar?
-
They are available but you gotta dig hard in the 'net. I don't need one personally as I'll never drive my car that hard to warrant it.
There are German versions available under a different company but the cost and shipping to USA is mucho bucks.
Wiechers Sport is the name but they list them for a Ford Capri so it may be a slightly different product.

Here's one I found, seller has three for sale but wants almost $100 to ship to USA. With the exchange rate currently that's approaching $250 US dollars to buy and ship.
How bad do ya want one? :o
-
So, that Australia seller might ship all three for not much more money (same box, not much more weight) make him an offer for all three, you could then sell 2 (they WILL sell) and yours is almost free!
-
I had already tested that theory with the seller. Buying two, he would only offer $10 off combined shipping for two.. If you can be patient, Rocketman has making some braces on his long list of things to do. That is what I have decided to do. His work is pretty superb.
