Tom,
This is what I received more than a year ago:

I received mine yesterday!
Exactly what tools will I need to install?

FlatSix911

Looks like you will need a Allen head wrench or socket for the strut bolts and an open end wrench or spanner for the strut bar.
A note of caution regarding the force to tighten the bolts - the alloy is soft and will only need to be torqued to 10- 15 ft lbs.

Thanks for the info - I need to tell the fellow Rennlister who helps me with things like these, and has the proper tools, which ones to bring over.

Ted,
I think the weak link is the top mount stud - these are very easy to snap. The actual strut brace mounts are super beefy.

Sorry about the quality, both kids had uncharged cameras so I used the cell.

But the bar is great!

Finally getting around to this install...

Do you put the washer INTO the milled hole in the brace or UNDER the brace (between the shock-tower and the brace)?

How do you figure out how wide/ narrow to make the bar?

Under the nut.
Slight tension on the bar. Not enough to move anything, just snug.
