Length of steel tube for strut tower brace 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Driver on  Wed Oct 6 16:29 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I've seen pics of people doing their own strut tower braces. The ones from the strut tower to the firewall. What is the exact length of the tubing so I can fabricate my own?

What I did was to go buy 10 feet of 3/4" electrical conduit, then measure it myself and cut. After getting the bends right(it took me a few tries), I was able to see exactly where I needed to drill the holes. Worked for me. I don't have the exact measurements though, sorry. The things are my car are strong enough that it seems like you could lift the car by them...probably couldn't, but they are stiff...and definitely thicker than the stock bars. Anyways, good luck,
