Did my "Bike fix" in the '70's with a 750cc Triumph Trident 3 cyl. ;) Wife says "NO" now. I have a Flyin' Miata strut brace, so I'll take some measurements to see what's feasible for this.
Great video - especially showing a measurement of the deflection. It might seem small but it can definitely dampen the feel of the brakes. (I've already got a DaveFab version as I have a 3-point front strut brace). Sad to hear that there'll be fewer videos, as I really like your content, but I totally understand that you want to take your channel in a slightly different direction. It's probably more efficient to upload to IG and FB rather than YT. Personally I think the YT format provides for a more polished product and better to watch than the other 2. I definitely will keep subscribed and wait for whatever you put out.....
Hey I run a stock tower strut brace on my na so I know it wouldn't fit. Would the brake cylinder brace fit on a flying miata strut brace? I know their's are built to be able to run both and I was wondering if you if yours and theirs interfere or if they work together!
Nice Vid...ordered the NappMotorsports Brake Cylinder Brace in response for my 1990 NA Miata. Quick shipping -- here in Two days; very high-quality construction of Brace, clean welds and durable powdercoated paint. As for the modification to the Air Box...it required shearing off pretty much ALL of the bolt hole in the upper right corner of the Air Box for clearance to fit in my Miata. There are still four other bolts holding the Air Box together tightly...so missing one is really not an issue. Happy with this relatively "cheap" upgrade to my brake system. RECOMMENDED !!
Thanks a lot for the before and after with the pressure gauge, and the video itself. I've just installed one from Jass performance and I was a bit dissapointed to see a tiny bit of movement after the install, same amount of yours, so yeah, your vid made me feel confident that it was all fine, plus, I could tell the difference on brake pedal feel when braking when I took it out for a spin and errands.
@@NappMotorsports Ordered. Thanks! I like your design better than the others I have found on-line. It should fit under my after-market intake box just fine.
Hi there, First I want to thank you for your videos they are very helpful. The other thing is I have mx5 Mk1 and did a complete suspension refeb ,its1992 import, that's include complete set of bushes, new tie rods etc, the problem I am having now is alignment, as first time I haven't done the mesurments right !! 😀 we learn from mistakes. So now my wheel is touching the lower arm when turning to full 😒, I am sure it's to do with inner tie rod alignment? I appreciate if you could advise me with that . By the way it's the driver side wich is the right side as am from the UK. Thank you & keep the good work .👍
Great video and explanation! Compared to other common brake upgrades like stainless lines, Wilwoods, etc. how does the master cylinder brace feel in comparison? Would you prioritize this first?
I would prioritize these. It’s cheap and easy and makes a surprising difference. You can do all the brake upgrades in the world but if you aren’t able to put full pressure to them, what’s the point!
Another benefit is the reduction in metal fatigue. Although unlikely that the firewall snaps if it did it could cause a crash and definitely need a tow and welding. Fatigue invites rust also. Japanese cars magic is lightness but the secret is they're made out of origami.
By doing this, you will probably be putting more pressure on your brake lines, so you might check those for wear and maybe replace with braided lines for a little more power to the brakes on top.
The clutch is more of a “switch” than a modulated piece like the brakes. Once it’s disengaged, there’s no benefit of pushing the pedal farther or harder. Brakes, they harder you push, the more the pistons will clamp.
Really love the fact that you took the time to measure the deflection! Thanks for taking the effort to do that.
I’ve been curious for a long time.
Yes please!!! Nb2, abs, and brace.
Working on it!

There’s so many brace options that it’s thought to make one that fits all options.

The bike build videos will hopefully be more regular, but I’m not starting that until I have this next engine build finished.
Complimenta for the video, I was curious if the ND has the same problem and I tried, no flex at all.
I don’t have any data myself on the ND.
Very cool! I'm trying to order but its not letting me ship to Canada?
Hey, send me an email at nappmotorsports@gmail.com and I’ll get you sorted out.
Can you make one for the NB2 with the stock shock tower brace? Pretty please?
Working on it I promise!
Awesome job measuring the deflection, never seen that done before. Excited to see more parts you come up with
Thanks Evan!
Are Canadian friendly, do you ship to BC, Canada
I can, just send me an email and I’ll get you a shipping quote! nappmotorsports@gmail.com

I’ve never tried it on a Flyin Miata brace, so I can’t guarantee it.

Yeah I’m not sure how solid of a setup you would need for 0, but it’s a ton of pressure to stop.
@@NappMotorsports Exactly, it should be a big reinforced piece of steel.
Would an aftermarket peddle box that’s mounted on the floor instead of the firewall work as well?
Yeah I would think that would be significantly sturdier.
@@NappMotorsports thanks man
Dual Booster setup... Big thumbs up
Workin on it!
Keep your quality (design and build) on par with this master cylinder brace and I’m sure you’ll do great!
Thanks!
Now that I'm VVT swapping my NA6, I'm definitely interested in that intake! Can't wait to see what comes next!
VVT swap the world!
Dang, out of stock already!
Just updated the inventory! There’s 4 left as of now.

I’d really suggest a professional shop do the alignment. It does sound like your toe (tie rod adjustment) is very far out.
lovely, more stuff to buy
😂
Another great video and product! You still have the best NA KSwap intake solution.
Thanks man!

@@NappMotorsports thx for the recommendation, looking forward the future of the channel.

Fatigue invites rust also.
Japanese cars magic is lightness but the secret is they're made out of origami.
Beautiful origami
Dead Link for this item.... hmm
Good call. I’ll update it now. You can also google Napp Motorsports Brake Brace and it’ll come up. I switched to Shopify so it likely died then.
Keep up the great work!! Looking forward to see all the new products!!
Thanks!!
By doing this, you will probably be putting more pressure on your brake lines, so you might check those for wear and maybe replace with braided lines for a little more power to the brakes on top.
Stainless lines are always a solid upgrade.
Such a great upgrade!
Agreed!
Tightening shock tower bolts while applying pressure on brakes would help minimising free play and preloading the bracket
It would bias it in the wrong direction
@@NappMotorsports you are right! i missed that detail.
Would that apply to the clutch as well?
The clutch is more of a “switch” than a modulated piece like the brakes. Once it’s disengaged, there’s no benefit of pushing the pedal farther or harder. Brakes, they harder you push, the more the pistons will clamp.
