any thoughts on the 3 point front tower strut bar by Carbing (its colored white not yellow)???? i know its expensive but is it worth it?

 

ask mr. clockwork on this board, he has one on his itr and yes it is white


peace

 

Doesn't Benen make one also...Heard alot of good stuff about them but apparently they are just as expensive.

 

The Benen 3 point bar is only $199 compared the carbing bar at $335. Plus the carbing cars a made for RHD cars so the bar won't fit unless you relocate you brake master cylinder. on the other hand, the benen are made for LFD so there is no problem with the BMC.

 

They don't fit huh?


I do have to take off the bar to open the fluid reservoir

 

Yep it does not require moving the MC reservoir at all. But it is true that the bar has to be removed to take off the lid on the larger (ITR sized) MC reservoirs. The reservoirs on the 13/15" master cylinders, I'm pretty sure can be removed w/o taking the bar off. Things are tight but the Carbing bar is a nice piece.

White powdercoat = chromoly steel bar
Polished = polished aluminum bar

I like the direct path (strait from point A to point B) design of the Carbing bar better than the Benen. Does that mean it is better or not....I donno but it makes me feel better
