rigidity kit

I have all the Byars braces on my car.

Front Trunk: Not very much space between the carpet and the brace. Less than 1" Note the Brake Master also from them.

...First of all! This cross brace does Tons!!! You'll learn that on the first hard curve You take! Second, You guys mounted it too Low! Did You Not think to move it farther forward and UP?? As high as possible!! Mine clears the Brake Master Cyl. by .040"!! Just enough to prevent it rubbing...

...I also Machine these 'Radiator Covers' for forward leaning Radiators! $150. each...

...group 47 Dropped Battery is also in view...

There will always be controversy and differing opinion on the front upper brace. I happen to believe it does little to nothing other than take up trunk space. The front trunk section of the body is a box section formed by the fenders, bulkhead and front trunk itself and is very rigid. Due to the chassis rail design the car can benefit from one of the lower front weld in braces.

If you do feel you need the upper brace then it's mounting should be dictated by the shock towers as it is supposed to sit directly behind the upper shock mountings the same as the rear one. In fact the best brace would be one that simply joins the two shock towers, the triangulation to the front is uneccesary.

...Yes! Like You said that is Your opinion! Where I come from, Those who have built Tube frames, as Myself, Know Boxes Flex! Triangles CAN'T!! End Of Story! Period!...

I have Hall's kit. There is lots of room under the bars. Perfect for tools, cleaners, wipers and bottles of Mobil 1!

What you need is the bottom part of this kit as well. Top and bottom, front and rear is the answer. It will stop all those cracks on the pillars and let your suspension do its job.
