I don't have a pic of the convertible brace, but have this pic of the R-D Racing Cross-Frame that I installed on my coupe. It uses the same factory front mounting holes/nuts as the convertible brace would use, but for the Cross-Frame I had to drill holes and use nut inserts for the rear mounts. Unfortunately the pic doesn't show any detail of the mounts:

I saw the same request on another forum. He is installing a convertible X brace on his C4 coupe and wants to see where the rears are attached and how they look.

I haven't been on this site for sometime but your posted question was just a few short months back, have you gotten the answer's you were looking for?

If not, have you tried Corvette Central and looked up part #184146? If not do so, or if you have one of their free catalogs at home it is on page 162. It is the 84-96 Cross-Frame for attaching to the frame of the C4 Corvette with pictures & installation instructions, with included photos and related hardware as needed. If not here is a link to the page itself:

http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~partsort~A2~cadefibF

On this page it says; For more information, please check out our Tech Blog, click on the words "Tech Blog" & it will take you to the instruction page as I have outlined above. This is the direct link:

http://tech.corvettecentral.com/2012/ ... te-chassis-reinforcement/

This looks like a nice afternoon weekend project so with tools in hand go for it. While you are at it maybe you would want to think about making this an all day project & include the front L98 Camber Brace to shore up the front end as well? Matching that Cross-Frame with a Camber Brace, you should have not only reduced body flex but suspension control as well, one would think. Here is the link for the Corvette Central Camber Brace, part #184106;

http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~partsort~A2~cadefib

Good luck with your project if you haven't done so already. I'm looking as to why my C4 is "choking" when I give it gas under normal driving conditions.

Gary, I have a 93 vert. It is hard to take pictures since I don't have a lift to put it up on. But if you could tell me what you are specifically looking for, ie mounts etc. I can take pictures and send them to you.
