STRUT BRACES - TWO TYPES TO SUIT A 240 TURBO
by Anthony Hyde
Two braces are fitted, the dual short Strut to Firewall units (standard on Australian
240's), combined with a Strut Tower brace made in Europe by OMP and imported through
Demon Tweeks, UK. Part #MA 1600, @ approximately $80US + postage. It is made from
mild steel tube and plate, and is strongly welded. Pretty well made but not brilliant.
I ground the bar to provide more clearance for the throttle spool and engine oil
filler cap plus dressed up the welds.
Any handling improvement after fitting strut tower brace? - definitely YES, most
noticeable on long sweeping corners, the front end feels as one.
For the keen eyed; note in the picture the Right hand drive, K-Jet mechanical
injectors mounted in B230 style inlet manifold, Isolation switch (battery in boot),
Fuel pressure gauge, Flexible inlet pipe to intercooler (smooth on inside).
Car: 244 with custom fitted B230FT using B21ET/FT ignition
and fuel injection.
Owner: Anthony Hyde (Australia)
