nb8b gearbox brace

Postby narita » Tue Jul 22, 2014 3:23 pm

Hi,

It seems while i have taken this brace off and left it in my carspace it has decided to go walkabouts.

i only noticed this after i actually replaced my o2 and came back to my carspace ready to return the brace to the car. (TIP: when changing nb8b o2 dont bother with either type o2 socket as they didnt work due to its location, instead use a 22mm open end spanner and a mallet/hammer. Removing the brace helps with room but make sure you dont lose yours like i did mine...)

does anyone know if i actually need to buy another one or will the car be fine without it.

i assume someone has thought it was rubbish but who knows...

What brace are you talking about? If it is just a brace for stiffen the car then no need to worry about it, one doesn't make much difference and NA don't even have that.
