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

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.

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.
