Brace Yourself


I recently purchased and installed an export brace and a curved Monte Carlo bar (fits tall MSD distributor) to stiffen up the front suspension. Previously I had a chrome Shelby-style one-piece that was period correct, but a little flimsy (and too flashy). These new black tubular pieces are from Global West, and since I have many of their other suspension pieces on the car already, these new ones look good. I should say that since the six stock shock tower nuts and external tooth washers were too tall with this set up I bought some 5/16-24 cone lock-nuts to replace them and they fit great. I also bought 4 rubber washers to go between the fresh paint on the cowl and the back mounting area of the bar.
