Re: New C4 Frame Braces
Old thread, but how has these braces held up and are they the same one but updated that vette2vette came out with recently. How has the brake line chaffing held up?

Re: New C4 Frame Braces
I have had my Vette2Vette No-Flex installed for about 4 years and no issues. Two years ago when my car was with Marc I asked him to check just in case it needed adjustment but he said it was good to go. I think it makes a big difference and am pleased with it. No issues with brake lines.

Re: New C4 Frame Braces
Yes, no issues. We did the install during one of our Wazoo maintenance days. Scrrem had one before I did mine so he got to supervise.

Re: New C4 Frame Braces
Going into year 11 with these (wow has it been that long?)
No issues at all, still have the same prototypes on the car

Awesome product and I highly recommended it. I transferred it from my 90 to my 95 when I sold it and still love it for the overall way that it stiffens up the chassis. I think what I love about it most is for lifting the car. It?s so easy with a floor jack or Quickjack. The helm mounting joint bracket is perfect for either way. It does not matter if you pick up the front or back because the entire side will lift as one; It is that strong and solid. No issues at all about brake cable.

Re: New C4 Frame Braces
Well, tried to order it and couldn't get the vette2vette checkout to work. Guess I will have to do it the old fashioned way and call them tomorrow.
