BT Tower Brace - Inverter Coolant Cap Question

[CBarr31]

Sorry for taking so long to finally post these pictures of the 1/2" clearance of the tower brace over my inverter coolant cap but here they are.

I am still waiting for a new brace from Brian that has been tested at their shop for fitment. They seem to be having A LOT of trouble with UPS lately. Two of the three braces they have sent have been "lost" by UPS, hopefully whenever he gets #4 out this week it will fit. Really getting tired of taking my car apart and putting it back together for this thing.

Ed, thanks for the response. I thought about taking it over to a friend's shop and welding a half inch on each of the three support bracket legs on both sides and with the end of the season only a couple of races away now I may still do that. I just don't feel like I should be having to do the engineering on this part considering the price I paid for it. I still have to do some sound deadening on the BT Skidplate to keep it from sounding so hollow under the car and modify the front plastic piece some more for a better fitment. All in all, a lot more work than bolt it on and forget about it

Thanks again,
Chris

Chris,

I have not sent out a replacement kit for you yet as I am waiting to receive our test jig from our machine shop.

I don't know where you get "4" replacements from as you had the original strut brace and you said you had a problem. I sent you a new strut bar with a paid return label and you continue to have the same issue. This is why I want to get a fixture in my shop so I can see what kind of variances your car has over the many other ones that we did not have these issues with.

If UPS lost any of your packages this is beyond our control. If you were given UPS tracking numbers for your parts that is all we can do. We never make our customers wait until UPS settles a lost/damaged claim. We immediately ship out the replacement parts and deal with the UPS claims process ourselves.

Regarding the skid plate we have never had any fit issues with this part. You mentioned to me that your plastic chin spoiler was cracked before you installed our part so this could have added to your installation difficulties.
