they are rubbish! send to me for immediate disposal.🙂





they are front suspension torsion bar supports. the 2 bolts at the top mount to the 2 front bolts on you pan the clamps go around your torsion bars. baja boys love em. think they were standard on country buggies.

They are what I'm after for my sons baja to strengthen the front torson bars to the chassis. As DUBB61 said if you don't want them send them up!!!!

They are different to Country Buggy as they only clamp on the lower torsion beam.

👍 with the front end riding close to the bump stops and added stiffness of the sway bars- not too mention a penchant for the occasional jump when "rallying"😁-sumthin had to give........unfortunately it was the underside of the bulk head behind the front end👎.

so with that welded and reinforced, thses were added as well to hold it all in place. wish i had just put em there years ago, oh well🤓

Mine were on my buggy when I bought it 18 years ago and I've knocked the hell out of it over the course of those years. Even this past weekend I've been bouncing the thing all over the place but so far I've never had a problem with the front end which is why i want to get the same things on my sons baja. I believe my buggy was built by COR back in the early 80's so they may still have the same sort of set up there.

COR still sell their front end braces to suit K&L front ends. $165 the pr.

Hey Brad, you took long enough to answer that!! Good to know though as we'll be needing some in the not too distant future.
