Hi. I'm looking for a vendor of a tower-to-tower upper brace. I've already got (diagonal) tower-to-firewall braces, but if this tower-to-tower brace also includes them, that's OK -- I can move my old ones to my wife's car.

I bought an IPD brace, but it's crap -- it apparently wasn't built properly, or welded on a good template. The brace does't line up with my bolts on any of my three cars (two '93s, not to mention an older '84, too). The problem is that the curved slots (and one of the sole holes opposite the curved slot) would have to be ground out close to the edge of the mount, severely weakening it, in order to fit.
I used to be a fan of IPD, but this has me sorely disappointed! Thus, I'm hoping to find another vendor, if there is any.

Thanks, all.
