    Scott Drake used the original Ford prints to makes these exactly as the originals with heavier gauge steel than the other reproductions we have seen. Unlike the reproductions of the past, these actually fit without the need for modification or the need to jump on the front of the car to install.

    These are the best braces on the market today by far... Greatly reduces twisting of the chassis. Also strengthens the front end and helps reduce shock tower fatigue and cracking. Also available in Chrome and Satin Chrome Finish. Does not come with hardware.

    Replaces Ford Part # C5ZZ-16A052.

    *TRIVIA* These are called "Export Braces" because all Mustangs and Cougars exported to Europe were required to have them. They were standard issue on all Shelby's and an over-the-counter option for Cougars and Mustangs not equipped from the factory with them.

    Could you provide the dimensions between the furthest shock tower mounting holes? After watching the video, I would like to know how far off my shock tower bolts are before I purchase. I don’t have a portapower to spread the towers apart.

    If you looking at the photo of the brace above, the two bottom holes are 38-1/8" apart.

    Will these fit a 71 Cougar convertible?

    No it will not, later years used a different type of shock tower brace
