T-case bracing?

[Swifty1638]

Anyone know of a place that sells a brace for the transfer case? I know it's big for the 3000gt/stealth crowd, but I haven't seen one for dsm's. I found this pic, and was wondering if it's just homemade or what?

I want, and have been thinking about doing one for my car, since the t-case is aluminum, and I'd rather save it as best as I can. Ideas?

Do you have a spare you can bring by? If there is enough interest we can come up with one. Any further info on why people would want this and if it actually helps?

I know especially for the 3kgt guys it helps the casing from flexing, and keeps the gears in check. Enough driveline shock would actually put enough torsion on the gears to "spread" them apart, cracking the case, and blowing the tcase up..someone correct me if I'm wrong. The bracing i've seen/installed on those cars looks like that of a mini roll cage, lol. I was just concerned because I'm afraid mine will do the same. I wish I had a spare, but I don't.

Don't you have to actually race your car to be afraid of things breaking?

Yea, shut up cher. Isn't there some fuel pump dilemma you are discussing on SF? This is a mitsu question..

I haven't heard of anyone breaking T-cases, but then again I don't drive a cool OMG HPowerz car.

I have heard of it, and im more-so scared, that it will happen easier on mine, being all aluminum.

I do not drive a omghighhp car..

That looks home made to me, seems simple enough to make one.

I say skip it unless you start breaking them. I think the 3kGT ones are specific to that case, the DSM ones don't get shreaded as easily.
