In the coming days, I will be installing an outer long stiffning kit from brad.
I know that I will need door braces. Where do I get a set ? and do I need to remove the doors to install them? |

You don't "need" door braces but it's not a bad idea if your concerned. Myself and others have done it w/o the braces and w/o incident. When welding, I did 3 welds per side spaced as far apart as possible then moved to the other side and repeated. Keep an air hose close for cooling, if needed. Never let the surface get too hot. IOW, if you can put your cheek against it, your good. Put some masking tape next to the door gap and write down the gap measurements before you start welding. Check those gaps frequently as you weld. I think I experienced 1mm shrinkage but I forget. Look back at the beginning of my build thread and it is outlined. Another member posted the same results that I had doing it the same way.
EDIT: Shit; I just read your's is the outer so I can't speak to that one> Mine was an inner long kit. Sorry. |
