New Improved design on my Strut Brace

I have changed the design of my strut brace to make it easier to install and adjustable to a degree about 3/8 inch center to center just incase the cars vary a bit,the silver one is the new bar all I have to do is drill the holes and it's ready to go

I don't think he really cares since he is probably going for effectiveness and not show...

Looks good!

Yeah I could make it a lot more visually appealing but that takes time and money and the wwhole idea was to make it so the guys on a tight budget could afford it cheap and simple,as for the steel plate it's 1/8th plate every thing is cut by hand with a grinder so the edges are feathered to deburr so it looks a little thinner maybe I will go up in size a tad but I had the red one on my car for a month or so with no problems,this thing could be made better yes but then it will cost over a 100 like all the rest, I'm making the things in my back yard just trying to help the financially challenged

1/8" is about 11ga.

Also, where youhave the 'adjustmnet'. Is that just a bolt witha little slack to give it some play?
