    Has anyone tried a 71 to 73 export brace for fitment in a mav? I'm wondering if a TCP adjustable one might work? Thanks.

    I shortened a Mustang export brace also. I'm not a big fan on moving parts on an export brace.

    If you don't need a stock-looking one it's easy to make your own with plenty of clearance.

    Do you recall how much you had to cut out? Thanks.

    I didn't measure but it looked to around maybe 2"...could had been 2-1/4". See Export Brace (1bad6t.com) for more details on this mod.
