    Default 1986 Convertible x brace question

    I tried to get info on mounting of front section of x brace (from K member to Radiator support) but no replies.

    New question do I need the "V" front section?

    I have full length MM sub-frame connectors, MM strut tower brace and MM k member brace so can I just leave this factory brace off?

    I will leave the back section "V" that goes from k member back to the reinforcing plate at front sub frame connector.

    Thanks

    I know precisely what you are talking about, but a pic helps for everyone.

    My sons 86 ragtop has full length subframe connectors welded in and a triangle strut tower brace. I wouldn't remove the factory bracing. What's the goal?

    Thanks for the reply, I did contact Maximum Motorsports and they recommended that I leave the front brace on so I finally figured the mounting out.
    My problem was the radiator support brace mounts were bent up in accident so I was not sure of the mount configuration.
