    Looks good. - On a side note, where did you get the scoops in the rear windows from as my mate is building a car and needs some cold air feeds for his rear windows.

        I have to say that bracket looks tasty, the OEM bracket is decidedly wobbly, i am a little worried, because i am using delrin rod end bushes combined with the bending force it receives on full lock, that the little OEM bracket is going to succumb to fatigue at some point??

          I've had the same concern myself since I installed the delrin inner bushes, guess the bracket is designed to flex a little but I'll avoid turning the steering lock to lock unless the car is moving or off the ground.

                Thanks to Carsten of Wagner Tuning for this little beauty.

                I'll post some pictures up later in the week of it fitted.

                Weighs 30% less than my original and well the core looks so so so so much better!
                Flow test makes my old one look like it was full of sand.

                              If you use a 5356 filler rod it's not so bad but the welds will not colour the same as the pure aluminium I have done it on a few things and just wish I left them
