Do kafer cup style rear braces have to be adjustable?
I'm thinking of making a couple of braces for the rear of my car, but I need to know if they have to be adjustable. Call me tight
and or lazy, but I don't understand why, can someone explain? Or is it just one of those, cost lots of cash adjustable racing type gimics?

I was wondering the same thing just a few days ago. Considering that you lock the nuts on the adjustable ones (so they don't move), my guess is no if

That's right. Pre-load.
When I fitted mine the instructions said that one side was to be adjusted in tension and the other side in
