Default The Grond Chronicles : First Florida Mod; Brey-Krause [Dialup, take a nap]

So 2 weeks after my move from the Frozen Tundra (CT) to the Land of Alligators, Giant Bugs, Withering Heat and Hurricanes (FL), the mod bug reared it's comely head

I bought the Brey-Krause harness mount and stabilizer bar and racing harness brackets a couple of months ago, but the Frozen Tundra prevented me from installing it. Today, with a beautiful ocean breeze and 78 degree weather, I decided to tackle what I thought would be an hour's quick mod.....

Little did I know

I followed Wicked Weasel's awesome write up but I realised half way though that I really needed 2 people to install the bar itself. Well, just like when I installed my GM T1 sways alone, it "took a while" but I got it installed eventually.

Here are the pics

EG
p.s. and yes, I am re-doing my stereo once again....

Can see where that might be tough to do alone. Looks good. Mild temps are nice, huh?

Just a few things to tidy everything up and keep an eye on power draw.

I don't know but every little helps. Along with the Elite Engineering Tunnel Plate, it can't hurt. I mainly bought it for a 4 point race harness

Here is Wicked Weasel's setup

I already gave away my last head unit and CD changer, as well as my RF mids and Clarion amp so I don't think I'm due to give away anything for a while
