wukindada Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have looked around & I know AVO & COBB offer a replacement RSB bracket but I really like this one... http://www.avoturbo.com/images/stabibar/bpbl_rearbar004.jpg any idea who makes it?? I completely snapped off the passenger side bracket above the top bolt & the driver side loks like it's ready to go:( I really like this 1 piece design it seems as though the stock bracket is no longer neede @ all.

fweasel Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Dunno, but the pic is hosted by AVO. Kinda look like unfinished prototypes of their retail version: http://www.avoturboworld.com/avoshop/images/300_bp_stabimount001.jpg ignore him, he'll go away.

TRS Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 That's the AVO one, it's just not painted their orange as it was just a prototype when the picture was taken. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1020457&postcount=53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_KT Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yup, that looks like a prototype AVO bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks guys:) So .......... My question now is, do you need the stock brackets to install these? If so, I'll have to pick those up first. Is COBB & AVO our only choices for aftermarket replacement? Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_KT Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 ^^^^ I wouldn't call units such as the Cobb and AVO replacements, but more like reinforcements that work in conjunction with your stock mounts. As far as working without the stock brackets, that might be a little "iffy" as they do not have nuts for the RSB bolts to thread into (which could easily be remedied). Also, I wouldn't be surprised if reinforcements like the AVO rotates if they weren't sandwiched in between the RSB mount and stock brackets. Please don't take what I stated above as gospel. If you need more pictures as to how the AVO reinforcements are mounted just let me know as I will be crawling under my LGT tomorrow in order to adjust the rear endlinks. As of now, I can only recall three different reinforcement brackets on the market, and they are: 1) Cobb 2) AVO 3) Perrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hmmmmmmm......I have a set of those Perrins sitting around but I was not a big fan of the design. Guess I could get the stockers re-enforced & then give them a try..... Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effin Ponderous Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Wuk, I had the same prob...custom welded and reinforced both sides. May not be pretty orange, but built like rock now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Well I am not the greatest welder in the world but for that job I can get it done;) After closer inspection this morning the item that broke was the C shaped bracket that holds the bushing & not the bracket post itself......Odd...... Now I just need to find one of those & then install the Perrin braces Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyan Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 if it is the 22mm bar, then it looks like part# 9.5158 (Greasable bushing) or 9.5126(non greasable bushing) should work. I bought mine off ebay. SoCal Duck Hunters Club - Unit 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
