No it don't. Mine mounts to the sub-frame with one bolt, up high. looks like Bunks mounts to the frame using the holes that are by the mid-link pivot toe bolts. The V-brace that mount just behind the diff and goes towards the front sub-frame bushings. Looks to be in the way.
What gets me. Bunk got 2 of the same braces from Bell, and they both are for the 370. Hotrodz, redon, and me all have the same one. I got mine from Z1, and I think Hotrodz too. So is there 2 different versions of the brace being made? Or did they dropped one and are selling the one like bunk's as the new version?

Yay! I get to refer to my own post!
Bell Raceworks Diff Brace Install The version he has is the version for the stock diff cover, without the Z1 or NISMO cooling fins. |

On Hotrodz's brace. They welded over the cracks on the bends. They didn't do that on mine. That's one thing they changed.

I haven't installed it yet. I had to put a few things into storage, and subsequently lost the hardware - honestly I totally forgot about it until this thread and am ordering new hardware. It's an early, first production run one though, so I can't comment on any updates it might've had.
Mine was ordered directly through Bellracework's site, with the intention of purchasing the stock cover one. I believe there is another listing with the one you own (finned covers). |

For now. P1091 is gone, but Im afraid that P1606 will still be haunting me. But while I have the Z, Ill install the brace and the kit to fix the top problems.

Brace is now installed. Didnt have to remove the exhaust or anything else to install. It fit perfectly. The brace mounted next to the midlinks like Rusty said. It was a very simple install, the hardest part was getting the bolts started on the subframe because the V-brace is kinda in the way - but even that was pretty simple. You can get a normal wrench inside the sub frame to hold down the nut, but an offset wrench would make life a tad bit easier.
Couldnt get a torque wrench on the top bolt to the differential, so I had to just guestimate the torque. When I test drove after installing, I could definitely feel the difference.
