About this model

This bracket helps to reduce flex in the dashboard when pulling the hood latch release. Inspired by the LRB bracket, this version works with the stock dash configuration. It attaches to the threaded portion under the dash, so you'll need a nut if it's missing like mine was. I believe it's the standard M6x1.0 but I'll confirm when I get another chance to look. Please double check that your dash has the same mounting locations, I noticed mine was a little different than the photos for the LRB version. I have the 1.6 dash, if that makes a difference. Printed with ASA 40% infill, but it'll probably be solid anyways with enough walls. Tree supports. Hope this helps you!
