Thanks. But I'm contacting dealers and theyre all (but 1) saying that these braces are for Mustangs only and not for Falcons.

The one pictured in the link you put up is the mustang style one that bolt on; US falcons are different to aussie falcons.

king hokum, if you are in the act, you are more than welcome to pop over and see how close the mustang one is to fit on the falcon. I have one in the shed.

Thats awesome Rag Top, however I'm in Newcastle.
I might just hold off until I spot someone else with the same brace on their falcon at the next car show. Thanks for all your help!

If your car still has it's welded in braces then you have no need for this one.
If however, you don't, then just buy it directly from falconparts.com. I've been using them for about 6 years with every project along that time and they're always helpful & prompt with delivery. Also a hell of a lot cheaper than getting it here......
