Making custom strut brace

[Sam_Q]

performance metals? never heard of them,

I bought it from a place called airport metals, very friendly service too. Only the pipes are cro-mo, not the lightened plate or the end plates, and it cost about $7 a foot (sold by the foot), not cheap but it took only 6 foot to make my brace so if you work it out that way $42+ is pretty good. Anyone know what a Cusco brace weighs?

...Whats it for anyway?

I would hazard a guess its used for access to clean out leaves and shit from the water chanels.

while that normally would be a good guess it does unbolt from the inside, I havent had a good look but it looks to be a nighmare to take out
