ultra racing front lower brace (pics)

well as some of you may or may not know the ultra racing lower brace does not fit on the US fits for some reason.
but with a little fab this will work. i will update when i get another chance to work on it

1. here is the bar with the bracket that mounts the brace


2. here are the mounting points on the bracket(circled in red)



3. install the bracket with the small size first. ( long side facing the front and small side facing the rear)





3. here is where it does not bolt up because it is a bit longer. So i marked the spot and will drill a hole. Next i will drill a hole on the bracket and put in a new screw. Easy fix.



Keep in mind this was not bolted up so it will sit back a little further....... about this much

What does it use at the other end for a mounting point, the control arm bolt? And these brackets, one bolt secures the bracket to the car and the other secures the brace to the bracket correct? Will you be supplying modified brackets or is that up to the buyer? How about a template for where to drill the body for a proper fit? sorry about all the questions, I probably shoulda just PMed you. PS How much$$ ?

Do you cover any warranty on your product? I mean they seem to look pretty legit.

no its

Its the 4 point bar that goes under the car not the fender . I need to know how to get that cued up for install. Last said drill the brace and a hole in the car. I need to know what size hole it needs to be and what length from either end it should be in considering once the front bolts hug the final resting position could change. Also does it rub, on a pic I found on ebay of the bar installed it looks like it crosses over and could be touching . Anyways. I don't like knowing this is a issue and no one ever finished the resolution.
