Title: Brax? (And now spacers)
Post by: Batan on March 16, 2015, 05:36:36 PM

Anybody has any experience with Brax MCs? Our Super needs one and that's the best cip has.

CIP is not the only source.  Autopartsway and Concept 1 sell FAG m/c's if you want an OE supplier.  Give Steveo a call at Lordco and see what he can get.  Some of the Beck Arnley pts I have been getting from him for my VW fleet have been top notch.

I've found BRAX is an abbreviation for "lasts 2 years, then fails catastrophically", shop around, there has to be better ones available.

Thanks, guys.
It's true, cip is not the only one but I always think of them. And I've had my share of terrible quality.
Will check the suggestions.

Got a NOS German MC from Bobby up there, thanks a bunch!
But as it turns out, the MC spacers are missing form the car. So again, anybody has a pair for a Super?
They didn't fall in and there were no "spares" in between the walls, I fished with a magnet tool and even managed to get the iPhone in there to snap a pic or two.
Another solution is to cut some copper pipe to length.

Old valve guide works nice
