So I went to the local scrap yard and bought a piece of 1/2"X1 1/2" aluminum stock for $2.00 and a couple M8X50mm Bolts for $1.00. I cut the stock to 18" with a hacksaw. I then drilled two 5/16" holes 16 1/4" apart (8 1/8 from center) as directed in another post.

MAAANNNNNN! What a difference a brace makes! If you haven't done this to your Prowler yet, you are really missing out on a much smoother ride, far less rattle, and much better handling and cornering.

Thanks to everyone who posted their findings in various threads on this subject. Those testimonials are what convinced me to break down and spend the best $3.00 I have spent in a long time.

OK. Now you've done it. You've discovered the limit of my forum litteracy.

How do I post a picture? I managed an entire year on the CorvetteForum without my stupidity being exposed. Only a week here and you all know my deep dark secret.

PS. I emailed you a few

Mine is an 01 Mullholland. The difference is nothing short of amazing. It really was simple to make. Took about 30 minutes from strat to finish.

The hardest thing (other than finding the 8MX50mm bolts) was cutting the stock to it's 18" length with a hacksaw. Other than thst, simply drill the two 5/16" holes 16 1/4" apart and bolt it up. Went on like a charm.
