@Jououma Will do just for you....
This is purely a bolt on support, does nothing to the car to create any warranty issues.
Will keep it in black, won't even notice it.
Below is LHD versions.

LHD version. RHD will be slightly different as the holes in the tower are different between the left and right, hence we have to make up our own in SA. Simple piece, just use the right materials and get the angles correct, so the brace absorbs the pressure.
I am not the engineer, the Old man is....

@sav, @Ryan86 your thoughts?
I doubt it would have any implications.

I'm usually very paranoid about warranties so for me to want this thing must say a lot.

Some feedback on the brace.
The RHD 86 does not have reinforcing on the tower wall by the area the bolts would hold the unit, where the LHD version does, so this could be the reason why the RHD brace has not been available.

There is another option we exploring, which will bolt on the top of the tower, this type of brace is used on the Evo.

Thanks RueFt for taking time to measure up.

No problem Ryan. I'm sure you will come up with a solution. Your father is quite and engineer and inventor. Post some pics on the forum of your father's Transam. I'm sure everyone will be interested in seeing it. This thing is a Monster of a car.

We found a site selling RHD versions from Japan. This is a great price, so it won't be worth us making this part locally.

I have ordered, got response within minutes of placing the order and shipped within an hour on confirmation with tracking number. Japan is ahead of us so I may have just ordered at the right time.

https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rc...YzV-nVvtLaLz5w

The site also has TRD parts, great prices.

Ordered the silver TRD indicator globes, get rid of the yellow..

Should be here in 5 days so will provide feedback if you want to wait...
