Hans's Engine Cross Brace, love it!
I was involved in a metric ton of 928 work this last weekend, replacing a dash wiring harness on a 79, and in between helping the daughter do that (she needed no help) doing the new 928intl Alum radiator, Hans's fan shroud W/Spal fans, and Hans's engine brace.
Really like it.

I have Hans' engine brace as well...it's a great unit. I especially like once I get the button head bolts snugged down I can twist the brace and make the bar tight against the bolts...torque them down then do the jam nuts....works really nice.

No, just align the plates to the fender and snug down the button-head bolts, with the wheels on the ground twist the center link until its snug, and then snug up the jam nuts. No He-Man tightening is required. Just snugging the center link will adjust it to a point that is higher tolerance than a stock brace. You can provide additional preload to the bar by tightening it further, but it is not necessary or recommended for a standard street application.

That only makes sense, Hans, but I wanted to verify.
As to the question you didn't answer, intuition says that the bar should function in the push mode, pushing outward against whatever inward pressure the shock towers might be putting inward. However, I seem to vaguely recall some discussions on this forum in the past about whether the brace functions by pushing or by pulling, and I can't remember the conclusion. That is the basis for my other question.
