Detroit Speed Fender Brace Kit (1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro) - 011802DS
Give your second-generation Camaro engine bay a cleaner, more refined appearance while upgrading from the fixed factory fender braces with the Detroit Speed 011802DS Fender Brace Kit. Designed specifically for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro applications, these braces triangulate the radiator core support to the fenders and feature a fully adjustable design that provides functionality the stock braces cannot offer. The result is a sharp-looking underhood upgrade with the adjustability needed to account for normal variations in factory vehicle construction.
Detroit Speed builds the 011802DS around 100 percent CNC-machined 304 stainless steel clevises, combining precise construction with a premium appearance that looks right at home in a detailed restoration, restomod, or Pro-Touring engine compartment. Fabricated mounting brackets provide the attachment points at the fenders and radiator core support, while included stainless steel button-head mounting bolts complete the installation. The mounting brackets are finished in satin black powder coat for durability and a clean contrast against the stainless steel components.
Unlike the original fixed braces, the Detroit Speed Fender Brace Kit is fully adjustable. During installation, the overall length of each brace can be adjusted as necessary to compensate for variations in factory production and achieve proper fit between the fender and core support mounting locations. Once adjusted, the clevis bolts and jam nuts lock the assembly securely in position.
Installation begins by removing the factory braces and mounting the supplied brackets to the fenders and radiator core support with the included stainless steel button-head screws. Detroit Speed specifies using anti-seize on all mounting hardware during installation. For 1970-1981 Camaro owners looking for a functional upgrade that also improves one of the most visible areas under the hood, the 011802DS delivers the right combination of adjustability, premium materials, and Detroit Speed styling.
