GTT Mid Brace: US suppliers?

I like the idea of the GTT mid brace, and it seems to be a perfect companion to a MM/IE lower front chassis brace (the trapezoid), but the exchange rate and shipping from the UK are killers. Does anyone in the US make a similar mid brace?

Don't hold your breath. The only way I believe is if someone already bought one and is trying to sell it.

No distributors here, I bought mine when the exchange rate was a little better earlier this year but it's not bad right now.......

Get the TSW brace from Way Motorworks instead. Support a local vendor and get a better brace.

$379 (plus $29 shipping) for the TSW brace is highway robbery, IMO.

Yeah I know, the trapezoid is $165 (plus $20 for shipping) and the GTT mid brace is about $135 with the exchange rate, but I just have an issue with paying over $400 for what is essentially a couple pieces of TIG-welded stock.
