Export Brace Questions/ Considerations
I'm thinking I'm going to install the export brace on my 66 (monte carlo bar also). My first question is has anyone taken off the "tabs" or connections for the old braces located on the shock tower? Second, has anyone used both the export brace and factory braces? Third, who offers the best Export and Monte Carlo braces. Fourth, are these things worth the install?

You can leave the tabs on. I would not use both. As for the where to purchase, any reputable Mustang Supply house (i.e. Muatangs Unlimited,Mustangs Plus, Tony Branda) all offer nice pieces. Highly recommend the addition of a Monte Carlo bar at least.

I definitely want to stay away from this sort of situation (cheap import) as I'm sort of big on functionality as opposed to being committed to looks. I heard Mustang Plus sells the import stuff. Is this true? Tony Branca seems like a good option. Thanks for the info.

Well, I can guarantee you that if you order from Texas Mustang you will receive a very thick dull edged export brace. I can't vouch for any other vendor. See what you think. I have no idea what the gauge is. See how it slips over the tab in the second picture?
