DeLaSoul Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Honda hookup?Good for any non eu models... I.e. Us models. I found Honda hookup good for quite a lot of stuff but as you say the non-EU models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhoath83 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Great research dude as ive now bought myself another brace this time an eg one so you just helped me a s**t load good work sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Well I will know by the weekend if this will fit. Got some interference fit plug turned out of aluminium and pressed them into the brace (with a little industrial bearing lock for good measure) and put it all on the mill ready to flush cut the plug. Then drill the new holes in the brace and hopefully fit it on the chassis by the weekend, or have an expensive paperweight for my desk! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Very nice mate! It's sucks we haven't got the tool room down the main factory otherwise I'd have done loads by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Some Finished off the plugs and counterbored the new holes approx 5mm in per side to match the measurements on the chassis So the brace goes on the chassis (just) but hits the rear ABS sensor bolt holes so didn't sit flush with the subframe So angle grinder to the rescue (I hate cutting the chassis!) Brace now sits flush and I could drill the ARB holes in the subframe. AS you can see the upper hole in the frame still sits off the subframe so I'll machine a small spacer to make up the difference. Next job is to make up some infill pieces for the sub frame, weld them in and paint over. The kit came with a piece to mount inside the subframe to give threaded inserts to bolt the ARB to, these too have to modified slightly but that's 5 minutes with a saw and a file. Too much work, wouldn't recommend this to anyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah that looks like it has been much more work than benefit! But you're there now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
