Actually that is a very nice home made piece, your friend did a REALLY nice job on the bending and welding.

WOW nice. How much did it cost him to make? Kinda like a carbing bar.

See if he will make me a carbing knock off.

actually its nothing like the carbing bar.... the carbing type II is a 3-point design that mounts to the firewall.

I see no point in the triangleation like the carbing bar b/c if you take off the wipers and the cowl thing you see there is nothing to support the brace if you did triangleulate to the firewall so use less in my opinion

and in price i dont know
all i know is ----its made of stainless that they bead blasted it---
