Saleen said the 351s were delivered with a lot of things they never actually put on them, despite what the MRSP build sheet said. G-Load brace and Saleen Caster/Camber plates are two of those items that it says they were delivered but very few actually received. I have not seen a Saleen G-Load brace on a 99 S351R before! I have one on my 95 but it was acquired and added after.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is the "g-load" brace?

That part does not look familiar. Im pretty sure I dont have one of those residing under #23. Its been a while since Ive had it on a lift tho so I cant say for sure. I do need to get under it pretty soon for oil change and to see if I have a T rex fuel pump or not so I'll see. I agree with the above statement that Saleen had grand ideas for the S351 in its twilight year but it never made it to the car. No fuel cell, center exhaust, etc. This car was on its way out and Saleen didnt throw any more money at it for R&D or new features.

The saleen book says that a few 1999 351's were shipped with center exhaust. In the back half of the book. Im trying to hunt down some saleen caster and camber plates right now for my s351 clone build, I got a g-load brace now. Dose any one know retail on it? John

You should be able to see it if you just get on the ground and look for it it will be at the very back of the k memeber.(right under the back of the engine/bellhousing)

Oxfords pictured are correct for a 94-99 S351. I have them on my S351R as well.

They are, Saleen had many version of parts. It's not uncommon for a company to make changes or different styles.

I have no book definition of why, just a guess

The G-Load brace in the above pics was also correct. They were only delivered factory on the SRs and they are Red Anodized! Correct as well on where it is located as described above.

The harder ones are factory Saleen sub frame connectors. When you find those "Extreme Suspension" versions that are the weld in ones not the bolt in ones, let me know as I am looking for those AND the upper/lower rear Saleen control arms as well. I am good on everything else.

This G load brace won't fit a 99 up car. I tried it on my 1999 and it's too short.
