Another vote for the Schnell from Vertex. I just put mine on last week, seems beefy enough for my needs and looks good, too

I also have to add a positive word about the guys at Vertex. They initially sent out the wrong brace (one for a 996 I think). I realized it as soon as I opened the box. I called and explained the situation, they immediately sent out the correct bar with a UPS shipping label for the incorrect one I had in hand. 4 days latter I had the right brace and I dropped the wrong one off at the local UPS storefront place. No affliation, blah, blah......just a happy customer.

the tower mounts on mine are black. I just took it out of the bag this morning to take some pics.

Bill Verburg

Yes, i've seen the black towers on some of them too

I have the black towered one pictured above and paid ~$250 for it from Sunset about a year and a half ago.

and it went up in price since then... significantly...


sometime these parts are like the stock market.

Wow guys. I did not expect so much activity in this thread. Thanks for all the info.

The RS brace is a bit expensive for my needs, so I think I will pass on that.

Marc, you have email.

Wasn't sure what they cost now. Many of the RS parts are still cheap now, but I bet that will get less and less common.

My Rennline brace has been sold - thanks for the pm's from those interested.

I just finished making mine this afternoon. It was fun and easy to do, plus I had nothing better to do because of the rain.
The rod itself should have been aluminum but I didn't have anything suitable in the garage.
Total investment: $25 and a case of beer (for the lasered flat patterns).

Bill Verburg

are the towers steel?

Nope, al-you-min-ee-um.

Bill Verburg

The black ones are aluminum?

I posted a bunch of pics here
