Detroit Speed Fender Brace Kit (1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird) - 011801DS
Clean up your engine bay while replacing the fixed factory fender braces with a fully adjustable design using the Detroit Speed 011801DS Fender Brace Kit. Engineered specifically for 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications, these braces triangulate the radiator core support to the fenders while adding a polished, performance-oriented appearance under the hood. The adjustable design provides an advantage over the stock braces and allows the brace length to be tailored during installation to account for variations in the vehicle.
Detroit Speed builds the 011801DS around 100 percent CNC-machined 304 stainless steel clevises for precise construction and a high-quality finished appearance. Fabricated mounting brackets secure the braces at the fender and radiator core support, while included stainless steel button-head mounting hardware completes the installation. The mounting brackets are finished in a durable satin black powder coat that provides a clean contrast against the stainless components and works well in both factory-style and highly detailed custom engine compartments.
Unlike the fixed factory fender braces, the Detroit Speed braces are fully adjustable. This allows the overall brace length to be adjusted during installation as necessary for normal variations between vehicles. Once properly positioned, the braces connect the radiator core support to the fenders to create a clean triangulated arrangement while giving the engine compartment a more refined appearance.
Installation uses the existing fender brace locations and includes the required mounting brackets and stainless steel hardware. Detroit Speed specifies that anti-seize should be used on all mounting hardware during installation. For first-generation Camaro and Firebird owners looking to replace the basic factory braces with a functional, adjustable, and much cleaner-looking assembly, the 011801DS is an easy way to upgrade one of the most visible areas of the engine bay.
