Antmann1992 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Much like everything else made for w's they only make stuff for 97 and up. My question is how much different is a 97s rad support from a 96. These look pretty badass http://www.drcustomparts.com/ http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/p/285-Diagonal-Braces.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Don Rome parts are the shit I love my stb mounts from him. Can't say about the 1 vs 2 gen dimensions though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaPrix Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good question I've always wanted to get some, maybe switch the parts out on some j/y cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if they were to be interchangeable between 1 and 2 G's. They look identical, but I'm not positive. I second the j/y test fit idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 i agree, try to swap out, it should be good test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antmann1992 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'll try to go to yard i usually go to and grab a set asaic but if someone else would like to give it a go please let me/us know if its doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko K Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) GEN1 dimensions are 22 13/16" from the strut tower hole to the closer rad. support hole on the passenger side. The driver's side is 24 1/4". The rad. support holes are 1.5" apart. All measurements are center to center. Now if a non-lazy GEN2 person can get their dimensions, we can put this topic to bed Edited October 18, 2014 by Miko K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsilney Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I got some gen 2 ones in my garage. I will see if they work on the cutlass tomorrow and update. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Good info Miko I'll get my gen 2 measurements tomorrow night when I get home if tsilney hasn't responded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsilney Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Bad news guys..gen 2s are longer than 1s.. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsilney Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 However, just went back out and I think two of the gen 2s passenger side braces would work..the gen 1 pass. Side is a direct fit for a gen2 pass side brace, the gen 2 pass side 2 holes will line up on the drivers side.so it will look.a little off but it can be done..so I think 2 gen2 passenger side braces will work on a gen1..if that makes any sense..lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko K Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 In this case people need to contact the makers of these and ask for 2 pass. side ones. Vendors would not sell them like that because they purchased them as sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharged400sbc Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 they work fine, the 2nd gen units just get the single hole end cut shorter and a new hole drilled 2nd gen tubulars are nicer than the earlier second gen stamped units that look nearly identical to the 1st gens. dunno if the aftermarket ones can be modified like that...the billet alum ones probably but i dont know if there's enough meat to modify the zzp chromoly braces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
