Need a X-brace for my 89 convertable, Who makes them ?
I have an 1989 convertable that flexes so much it is driving me crazy. My trans was rebilt about a year and a half ago and I believe they forgot to reinstall the X- brace. I replaced the Catalytic converter last week and "no x-brace" The shop denies my car had one when they did the trans work but I know better. I cannot prove that my car had one. Well now I need to find one, anyone know where I can find it. Thanks in advance. :mad

I would try GM, one of the discounters should be able to get you decent price, y 6 years when I bought my one of the legs. GM list price was $120 per leg. There are 2 legs, 6 nuts, 16 bolts, center peice and 4 rear spacers.

I just bought a used one from Taber Corvette Parts and it was in great shape and had all the pieces - for $150

My brother(Aqua-86) just installed one. He bought it in Carlisle. I am sure if he chimes in he could tell you what company he got his from.After seeing his it is on my list...Or should I say my Fiance's list :yesnod:
