Volvo 240 Firewall Brace Set
These heavy duty firewall braces are powder coated steel. Approximately 2mm wall thickness tubing, much heavier than the original braces that came on U.S. Market 242 GTs. A beautiful match to our strut tower braces, and a nice complement to any engine bay with their glossy, durable finish. Includes all hardware for installation as shown. In conjunction with either of our strut tower braces, these will do a wonderful job of tightening up and strengthening your 240's front end. Buy both and the braces ship free in the carton. Please e-mail for a shipping quote as these do not ship flat rate. Include your complete address, please.
$149 for the kit.
Fitment Notes
Firewall braces were standard equipment on 1978 GTs, which arrived AFTER the start of regular '78 production. All vehicles from that date forward have the firewall anchors for attachment of these braces. If your car does NOT have anchors (captive nuts) in the firewall, they can be added by a competent welder. Contact us for details. Best results are achieved with installation of both firewall and strut tower braces.
Please note! Our cars are 33 to 51 years old, as of the date of this release. Most cars will exhibit some minor displacement or misalignment of body panels at this age. These braces are HEAVY DUTY, but will conform to slight variations in the firewall and strut towers, about 1/32" at the mounting plate surfaces. The slotted mounting points also help compensate for minor shifting.
If you have a Series I, II, or III Wagonmeister Strut Brace, you may need to relieve the mounting plates slightly to clear welds. Large washers shown compensate for height if you do NOT have a strut brace installed.
