Mine is from Moser. It fit like a glove.

Was it made to a certain length? Or did you trim?

Sometimes you have to shorten or notch the brace to clear the shocks when the housing rotates under acceleration.

To lighten my MS back brace, I drilled enough holes to make me feel warm and fuzzy.

If you go pic #61, you can barely see the kink I made in my back brace to miss the shock.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

It's been a few years, but as I remember all we did was radius the ends to fit flush against the axle tubes. I believe Moser only makes one version. My housing is original to my car (67 B-body).
