Show original supplier description
The UMI Performance 3053 front reinforcement brace is engineered to enhance the rigidity of your GM G-Body's front frame by connecting the frame horns and front crossmember. This three-point brace serves as a direct replacement for the factory frame reinforcements and the "Grand Prix Bar," significantly reducing chassis flex. Constructed from durable 1-1/4" USA-made tubing and featuring 3/16" laser-cut mounting brackets, this brace is built to last. Installation is straightforward, requiring no drilling and utilizing existing mounting points for a clean, bolt-in application. The package includes Grade 8 hardware for secure attachment. Weighing just under 10 lbs, this reinforcement brace is designed to be lightweight yet effective for various driving conditions, including street use, drag strip, autocross, and road racing. It also helps to minimize common squeaks and rattles associated with the GM G-Body platform. This reinforcement brace is available in a tough red or black powder coat finish, proudly manufactured in Philipsburg, PA, USA. It has been tested and used on UMI's own G-Body "Green Machine." Please note that this brace is not currently approved for the Grand National platform when equipped with an intercooler. While UMI's testing on five different vehicles across various years did not require any modifications, occasional minor grinding might be necessary due to inherent GM G-Body production tolerances.
