Rob here's a pic of how I trimmed the cruise bracket. Notice that it looks very similar to the '01,'02 na cruise bracket . The second pic shows stock unmodified Gt solenoid/cruise setup The 3rd pic shows my MBC,catch set up and solenoids mounted on the right side of the strut bar

Hay Flash:

I admire your ability to come up with a solution that allowed you to use your old brace. I am looking for something a bit more "stock" looking. I just don't want to have to use wire ties as a permanent solution for the solenoids. I am sure that it is just a matter of time before I see the bracket that Freedom Design came up with to relocate everything.

In fact, I heard back from Freedom Design and they are working on getting me a picture of a GT.

Thanks for posting your pics and taking the time to share with all of us who want a brace on our GTs.

Steve

Well Steve wire ties isn't my choice either but having the handling improvement meant more than looks. For the first time I won't be driving a cruiser year round and my goal is to clean up that area this winter ,powder coating intake ,valve cover,and possibly stage 1or stage 2 install . When I bought the GT it was March and knowing the benefits of the strut that, the oversize sways, and the bassani exhaust were all done the first week I owned the car .

You're too late . . . PT Tuning has much better pics on their site. lol

It's funny that Freedom Design won't put up a pic. They must not be very proud of their solution on the RH side.

I ordered from PT-Tuning the day they posted their GT pic.

Thanks for posting anyway.
