    as far as i know there are no strut braces made to cope with the addition of the 32/34dmtl weber. ive hammered mine around tracks and never worried about the brace

    Will the OMP brace specifically for the carb models not fit with the Weber? Can't see why it won't, it's kinked to go round the back of the carb and the Weber isn't any closer to the bulkhead. OMP MA1631. About 50 for www.strutbracer.co.uk.
