    I know Mike at Wolfpack had some nice 8.8 braces a while back for $80 I believe. They looked pretty strong and I know he wouldn't sell something that isn't quality.

    If you want you want your rear to look as nice as mine, give Tim a call at Rodeheaver's! He did all the work to mine. I picked up the axle brace kit from a guy on turbomustangs.com that uses the screen name snoopstang that sold them for $100 shipped. High quality rod ends and tubing.

    Snoopstang is really Chris. Hid e-mail is snoopstang@yahoo.com

    He now has a nasty SN95 with a SVO V6 engine but used to be into the 2.3 Fords ;) he still shows up on TurboFord from time to time. The parts are Southern Oulaw Shop (SOS) ...

    http://www.thesouthernoutlawshop.com/

    This is a direct link to the braces, but the main site says to call to order ...

    BTW - In the auction you linked, I'm almost certain those guys are selling the Granacopy cover. I would light my car on fire to save the trouble before putting anything from that jaggoff on it.

    yea i figured it was scrap parts after looking at it a few times...i got a Mac diff cover off lou.. and im still in the air on braces.. Those ones from street leathel didnt look bad at all.. plus no welding required! lol but i gotta make a choice this week cause i wanna get this rear end completed so thats one project down and i can move onto getting my team z rear suspension..and keep working my way forward on the car. BTW i seen your car at irwin last night i didnt see you at it when i was walking through or i was gonna stop and say hi..but your car looks sick
