Mega brace by SD performance
Is this something that you can buy used and would it be worth it? Or just buy a new set. Thanks Bill

Pretty sure it is best to custom fit(grind) to a specific block's valley.

You always grind them some if you are smart.

Bill - can't say that I've seen any braces for sale used but I'd pick one up if I came across it. New or used it may still reqire some fitting.

From Dave's website: "no grinding required to clear any bolts." That's different than grinding the lifter bore cups on the brace to fit properly. I also had to fill in recesses in the fitted area with JB weld. It might take a pretty big hammer to get them out, and they probably wouldn't be in that great of shape to sell at this point.
