Also bollocks.

Your favoured product needs to mount in exactly the same way as the M4 brace for this to be even remotely true, plus when was the last time you flew on a steel aircraft? To match the stiffness, the steel item will end up heavier.

Maybe if you clarify what you mean by wheelhouse? The M2 isn't a ship, so doesn't have a rudder...
