Can anyone recommend a bolt-in Kafer brace for the Ghia I can source in England (if not then a reasonable priced on from the States) please?

Search for Underdog racing. Prescott has a pretty nice setup. I have ove on my ghia now. However, heater boxes are not anoption with it. Nice thing about his is the geometry/trianglation isbetter than some others out there

http://shop.kaddieshack.com/Truss-Bar-aka-Kafer-Bar-17-2975.htm this is the cheapest one i found. i installed it on my ghia with the engine in and it clears the hearer boxes. it reduced the wheel hop i had a lot but it still hops a little. i dont think i have the cross bar tight enough so its allowing it to flex still. (going to tighten it soon and see what happens) also i have old tires witch probably doesnt help any.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I've emailed for a couple of postage quotes to the UK.
