My car's in the shop right now for a fuel system upgrade and my guy was going to install the mount too. He's a great fabricator so he's going to see if he can modify it without destroying the structural integrity of it.

I should have realized the mount wasn't going to work when I found out I could no longer get a floor jack under my diff after installing the Fast Intentions exhaust.

I have the FI 3" exhaust and there is even less room.

This is one of the braces posted on Instagram; supposedly on JonP’s car

No worries. I can get MA-Motorsports to make 2. I will have a 3" exhaust also.

I too seen this Bell Raceworks differential brace and was skeptical about how it would fit. Thanks for the heads up here. This is not the only part or item that we have had fitment issues with that Z1 sells seems that proof again Z1 only cares about their sales and not their customers makes sense though no jaw dropper here. There are a lot of other vendors the Z community can give their business to.

I’m glad I held off on this piece. Thanks for the heads up Rusty.

I should clarify that I didn't leave a review (yet). 😁 I think one of my posts made it sound like I did.

The only time this will be awesome is if you get wheel hop. That is when the rear diff stud may break. If you get wheel hop, let off to protect your parts.
