Pabz Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 Are you saying that the best thing to make a rear brace for the w-bodies is adapting one from the 92 Bonneville SSEI Front STB to the rear strut towers, and that there aren't any that exist already. cause then i will order one for the front #12456148 and the front for a 92 Bonneville SSEI tommorow whats the part number for the bonneville?, where would the best place to pick up the square pipe to fit?

Robby1870 Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 I dont know of any bars you can buy to fit the rear. The easiest thing I HAVE SEEN, is to adapt a Bonne SSEI front STB. I found mine off Ebay. Any junkyard is gonna have them. I got some 1in square from a guy I know who is a welder and works for a construction company. Anyway, Ima try and get some pics up this weekend Robby Quote
Robby1870 Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Well, I found no spare time this weekend. However, I should have some extra time during this week, and Im gonna get some pics up. It may be a couple of days, but I will do it, trust me Robby Quote
Pabz Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 did the front for $30 CDN OUCH!!!! but i like how it stiffened the front, and the turning is great, but i was turning at too high of speed and could hear that i was putting to much strain on the power steering so i cooled it down, i think i know exactly how it will feel with a rear one on so i am gonna do this project.

gmrulz4u Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 QUESTION: When the hell did you guys discover that the GM Part #12456148 for NEWER W-Bodies would work with ALL W-Bodies?? I would have bought one a LONG time ago had I known this! I just always assumed that since I didn't want to spend $100US for one from TWINDUALCAM.com, and GM no longer made them for the early 90s Cutlass Convertibles, I was OUT of luck! I guess I was wrong:)? Quote
Robby1870 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 I discovered that this winter, I bought one off ebay, and was like, if it fits it fits, if not I'll re sell it. It fit, thats how I found out Robby Quote
91GranSport Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 I think Twin Dual Cam is out of business, and has been out of business for a long time! I know RSM has front and rear strut tower braces for the W-Body, but if we can find one from a junkyard that will fit without modifications then that would be our best shot.
