Default WTB: Racing Dynamics Strut Brace + 968 Hatch

Just thought I'd see if anyone here knows of a RD strut brace that's for sale before I buy a new one. May consider alternates, though I like the way the RD one looks (which is about 99% of why I want a strut brace!).

I'd also like to find a complete 968 hatch - please PM meif you have one, or know of one for sale. The glass & frame must be near perfect.

Thanks

You know....if you can't find a Racing Dynamics brace, I could make you one like it, although it would not be cheap.

I just bought a RD strut brace but having fitment issues with the hood clearance. Clears the fuel rail by half inch, so plenty of room to lower it but there doesn't seem to be any adjustability in the mounting hardware. Anyone else have this happen, and what did you do to resolve it? Elongate the bolt holes in the mounts?

Welcome to the world of strut tower braces on our cars... any lower and when the motor moves it will hit the bar from underneath!

I had a Racing Dynamics strut brace on a 944S, hit the center bracing on the hood and rubbed the intake manifold.

8v? Try clearing a 16v head with a strut brace.
