Here are some pics. Remember, this is a prototype; the prodoction unit will look much nicer and each bar will be one piece.

Anything is possible. I prefer weld in braces, but I might see about making one that partially unbolts to allow tranny removal, etc. I will check into designing one, but it will likely be another month until I really check it out.

Looks like a high quality unit you're building there. How much clearance is there to the plenum? The round shaft might be what makes that a tight fit. The steel round shaft cusco bars apparently go around the front of the plenum to avoid clearance issues.

Maybe you could make one to where there is a bar in front and a bar in back but all one piece. Basically the same thing you have going on there but adding one more bar on the back side of the flanges. Double bar strut tower brace. Or do you think that would be over kill?85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

I was thinking more like a totaly unboltable only reason is that way you can totaly remove it if necessary85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

From my experience in making STBs, the ONLY reason there is a length adjustment available is because not all cars are created equally. Between the strut towers, each cars are millimetters to centimeters different in lengths from each other. So. making a set without this adjustment would mean that the STB would only fit the car used to make the STB.[strike:ff0tp92h]1984 300ZXT[/strike:ff0tp92h]

Or you could transfer it to another car like so many z31 people do.
