Humble Rumble Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Now that certainly is weird. Hardrace has been known to re-brand other manufacturer's parts (often Megan Racing, or Megan is a rebrand of Hardrace, idk which), but based on Hardrace being in Japan and this part looking like it's coming from Australia, I would think that this cylinder brace would be for RHD models. However, the shape is identical to the LHD Cusco brace I have on my car. If it was for RHD, it would be mirrored I would think. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Still far more expensive with shipping than the RikGT option. Heck, almost more than I paid Rik for one and to have it custom powdercoated.

Humble Rumble Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 RikGT's were original made from a group buy for the first run, so it was a larger batch sent out cheaper per each. Single ones since then are pricier. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libacy GT Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I went on hardrace website they don't have any brake stoppers for the 5th gen liberty/legacy They once listed a 5th gen stopper and I ordered it but it was not the correct part and they have since removed the listing. Neoplot make a stopper for the 5th gen but it's fairly expensive https://www.nengun.com/neoplot/master-cylinder-stopper-neo Not sure if suitable for LHD Sent from my HTC_M10h using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD123 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I bet it comes from the same chinese factory the ones RikGT was selling... I have one sitting in my garage awaiting my lazy butt to install it, and it looks remarkably similar (only difference in the hardware is the stopper is blue instead of the black one pictured here - also for the place where the stopper attaches, there looks to be an extra reinforcement piece that's missing on this one (or at least can't be seen in the pictures) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hardrace's and Cusco's are identical. Also, seriously just install it lol.

Hanger Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Found one made in Russia on eBay. Advertised as for US models since Russia is LHD https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brake-Cylinder-Stopper-For-Subaru-Outback-BR-Legacy-BM-LHD/183653011593 Look like it has less mounting points than the Cusco design. Should still work. Edited March 8, 2019 by Hanger ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) None of the Cusco mounting points have to be drilled, and uses all existing holes. One hole requires a screw receptacle similar to a license plate bracket screw. This specific mounting spot I've mentioned looks to be the one that is not used on this new ebay brace, so it's a non-issue.
