Need advice: brakes on CMC/StreetBeasts

[mdross1]

Obviously they have changed things since I bought mine in 93,my firewall area is more than up to the task.Have been running dual Willwood masters for quite a while no way any fiberglass can flex.Maybe when assembled the builder left out the supports.

Holt,

This was once mine. I hope I was somewhat helpful on our phone conversation. Sorry to hear you are having problems with the wilwood setup, but the steel plate, like we discussed should do the trick. I never experienced the deflection but can definetly understand your concern. My builder and I spent many long hours on this project. I hope you enjoy it!! By the way, who did you purchase it from??

HA!! Small world we live in here. If you're absolutely sure it is a streetbeasts, does any of this sound familiar?

"There should be a 1/4 plate bolted at thebottem to the lateral frame rail and reinforced with an angle arm on the inside in front/bottom of the foot box. The plate is about 8 inches wide and extends up to where the steering column frame and master cylinder bolt to it.Sounds like this plate was not installed."

As far as chain of title is concerned all I know are the 2 owners previous to myself. Garaffalo -> Mullens -> ME ; anything before that is unknown to me. I didn't include first names since this is a public forum. If you want them just for curiosity reasons, send me a PM and ill let you know. But, something tells me you will know who Garaffalo is.
