A recent exchange on the
Club Triumph forum lead to me having a look into TR7 strut braces. I have seen them for sale on eBay and some traders such as
S & S Preparations and
Robsport sometimes have used ones for sale.

Steve, good idea to gather the information together so you can compare the various types.
ReplyDeleteI would like one to go on my TR7 Sprint, doesn't need to be too serious, just a bit of extra stiffness. Also found out that the Whiteline one is NLA.
Do you know anyone witha good one we could get a pattern from?
