Default Custom 3 point front upper strut bar for the EF 88-91 Civic/Crx

Thought I would post the workmanship. Another strut bar to add to my collection. Finished it yesterday. I was very pleased with the end result. You can retain the factory location of the fuse box. It clears the Integra MC and Booster. The back firewall bolts up to factory holes. It will clear D,B,H and possibly K series EF's. Also available for EG/EK/DC.

PM with any questions!

Looks good

I like what you've done but I would like to know why you guys did not go all the way around the strut like password did in this pic.

i think he never went the whole way around the strut so that you coul dkeep the fuse box in its stock location.

I made my own a loooong time ago. I think 5 years ago.
the purpose of strut tower bars is to keep the towers from moving/flexing towards the firewall and each other, not rotating in place.

Thanks for the kind words! This is probably the last prototype strut bar I will be making since I have all of them already designed and fabricated. EF front upper 2 point, front upper 3 point, rear upper 4 point, rear upper 2 point, and rear lower 2 point. I will be making a bolt in MC brace next for EF/DC/EG/EK and the strut bars for the DC/EG/EK.
