One off hybrid strut brace / engine stabiliser

Mark_F · 21-06-2009, 14:23

Another part I don't really want to have to sell,

Its a one off strut brace for the mk3 Astra customised by AVA. It incorporates an engine stabiliser which bolts in two places to the front of the gearbox. It came off my Mk3 Turbo running an F28, it may fit others, but we'll have to double check that.

It stops the engine moving back and forth under load and unsettling the front of the car. - Having seen the engine being run on a rolling road both with and without the stabiliser you'd be surprised at how much difference it makes.

Its heavy and sturdy and the workmanship is of a level you'd expect. Could use a lick of paint but its in otherwise good condition.

It'll fit any engine, it mounts to the gearbox. Fits the F20, I'd need a picture of the front of your gearbox where it mates to the block next to the engine number etc to confirm.

Sure I replied mate, your question was will it fit a calibra turbo, the answer is probably not as the brace is meant for a mk3 astra, it'll fit the gearbox, but wouldn't locate on the struts I wouldn't think.

Can you ship to italy?

Anyway it should be screwed here? (if not, where? )

thanks!

Sorry friend, no postage outside of the UK. It bolts to the holes at 9 o'clock on that picture, on the front of the box.
