I'd still like to see pictures of it if you have it, or old pictures of it. I heard about this back when Mantapart was selling them, but never saw them... I can fab my own up but was curious the routing since I changed to a different rear axle.

Are we talking rear suspension brace or front sub-frame? Typically, K-member talks about the front-end, but Berettas are built a little different than a rear-wheel-drive car... My '92 N-Body Grand Am shares pretty much firewall-forward with our Berettas, and it has a brace connecting the two front subframe pieces from the factory, attached at the two mid-frame mounting bolts... I thought this was referencing a part like that? :unknown:

Good news! I found 2 more K-frame braces. These I believe mount just aft of the auto transmission? Not sure if this works with manual?

Ok, that's the subframe brace for the front. When you mentioned K-frame, I was thinking about a long-since discontinued company called Mantapart that made custom parts for GM FWD cars. The K-frame brace they made was for the rear axle.

This was standard on FE7 suspension cars (Indy's, GTZ, W26's).

It does work on manual transmission cars, in fact, it will work on all Beretta's, unless you have a 4T60E transmission (94-96 automatic). Doesn't clear the trans pan on those.
