Honda Strut Bar/Brace for Z
Yes, there are brackets that attach to the top of the strut housing and hardware that mount it to the bottom of the strut tower support in the rear. The hardware includes a crush tube, bolts, washers and nuts. It shares the same top bracket & bolt as the front strut cage. the picture above is the only one I have presently, I believe that PDK fabrication has a few more on their site. Ron

Honda Strut Bar/Brace for Z
There is no welding required, it is completely bolt up. PDK sells this solution as a modular set up, look a little further and you should find their complete solution. If you look in my gallery you will see the photos of an installation with the motor out of the car (for better photos). I suggest that you contact PDK directly for more information. Ron

Tomohawk, could you rephrase your question? thanks! Ron C

Honda Strut Bar/Brace for Z
Well we seem to be overlooking a better option. PDK fabrication makes a stut bar solution that is designed around the needs of a 240Z. 1) 240Z's front strut towers twist under load, so anything with a rod end will allow this twisting motion. 2) Most solutions are not triangulated, without triangulation back to the fire wall your strut towers will still move significantly under cornering loads. 3) the weakest point on a 240Z is the nut-serts that hold the sway bar to the frame rail. So your best solution is a strut bar (cage) that ties your strut tower together triangulated into the firewall with support to the frame rail and front sway bar. The answer can be found at www.pdkfabrication.com Or you can go to my gallery: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1229&password=&sort=7&thecat=500

BRE Racing Header II
Hey Panchovisa, I do have a copy pf "the stainless steel carrot" signed by John and Sylvia. John & Sylvia live about an hour and a half north of where I live and I have gone up to meet with John on a few occasions. He has been really helpful with my project, giving me some insight to the original car and some of the little things that no one would know about. Remember back then John didn't just drive the car, he had a hand in building it too... I spoke to Sylvia & Pete Brock yesterday as I am trying to lock down the correct collors for the BRE Z. The bodywork is about 50% done and I will be heading off to the paint shop in a few weeks...

BRE Racing Header II
Sleep, is hightly overrated...The ports are indexed to the head. The bends we VERY complex and clearing the steering linkage was tricky. Since this was a direct copy of the original BRE header we didn't even consider a one piece flange...

I am building a replica of the BRE #46 car, so accuracy is the key. However, I also have it on good authority that they flow very well too.
