Here is the latest information .The cost of everything is up from the last run.I am still selling the braces with all needed bolts and the 0-ring shipped for $125.If some one buys two or more then the shipping will be less and the cost savings will be passed back to the buyer.So two braces will cost less than $250 but I do not know how much less .The order HAS been placed for the braces to be made .They should be ready for me to pickup in 4 weeks ,that is the fastest I could BEG for .I will order the bolts today and start packing them and the 0-ring as soon as they come in.It will save me paypal fees if you will pay by secure check and I can have your package addressed and ready to go .Be sure to send your address with the check .If you use pay pal and send it before the parts are ready I will be able to have your package addressed and ready as well .If something goes wrong with making the parts I will return any prepaid money ,those who deal with Garfinkles Motor Works know there is no fear . The brace can be installed any time so do not let the 4 week wait effect your schedule .More information will come as I get it and thank you for your interest .This is the best brace on the market and worth the wait ,just ask Howard Coleman .

Ray,
I believe the set of bolts that comes with the kit are slightly longer than the OEM ones, they are longer so that they will fit well with the brace, since the brace is approx 8mm thick (please correct me if I'm wrong David). If you don't use the bolts that come with the kit than your old ones will not seat fully.

I made a set of studs for myself some years ago and felt that the pan was harder to fit over the studs because of the manufactures tolerances .The brace was a bit hard to slip over the studs as well .Some people will not deal with this .With the bolts the install is as easy as 1-2-3 .The bolts for the pan and motormounts are 10.9 which are higher grade than the studs I had found.I send 19 pan bolts so with later age pans you can drill the two marked holes under the motormounts in the pan ( the block is threaded already ) and grind ,drill the clearance for the bolt head in the motormount . for even better sealing .If you like studs better that is fine as well,I just tried to make this easy for those who are not as mechanical as some of us .

I thank those of you that are paying early .Thanks for your trust .This will help me by getting a smaller loan when the time comes to pay for the materials and for the two shops doing the cutting and milling. The packages are bought as are the o-rings.The bolts for the pan and motormounts have been paid for and are being shipped next week .The braces should be ready in 4 weeks .I am addressing the shipping packages as the payments are made so everything will be ready to ship the day I pick up the braces .

LONG RX7 to answer your question would be hard for me because I have never seen an oil pan from Pineapple Racing .Maybe someone on the forum can help LONG with an answer .
