Ohan, I hope you noticed that on this particular installation, there is no way both cowl braces can be used. You may be able to finagle around that problem. Don't know about you, but when making an engine swap, cowl braces are high on my list of Alpine parts that must be retained. Like essential.

Hi Robin,
I have been reading up on the SR20-DET motors and it's an option I want to go with. Did you get this persons contact info.? If so, I would be interested.
I can only see the steering rack(?) welded to the firewall support brace, but based on that it looks like very clean fab work. I'd like to see more pictures of the steering, looks interesting to say the least.
If you look real close, I think there is something bolted to where the right cowl brace goes. I amagine that it has been custom fabricated to fit under the plenum. The quality of fabrication, as far as I can see, is superb, so don't believe he would delete it.

I am in process of installing the Nissan CA18DET, the SR20's "baby brother" it fits very well and both cowl braces are intact. easily 200HP on 1.8 liter turbo.
