They would only not work, if the bolts were not tight and there was movement between the bar and the chassis. If it is all tight it will support the chassis.quote:Originally posted by 4NHOTROD:
These are called pretty bars...because they're pretty and don't work.
You want are brace that goes right to the ends of the openings where they get bolted or else they don't support the wheelhouses.
I'll try to find a picture of one. My 72 had the proper brace. Joseph has one he made that is correct. Mark C has a pic of Joseph's engine.
Mark?
