20198, RE: What is wrong with the 20 dollar strut tower bars from ebay??? Posted by Squid, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
You're right that it would take a complete redesign of the unidboy to eliminate any flex, but a properly designed strut bar can help some.
In that picture you posted the cowl and another support that lies behind it have been removed. If the strut bar mounted to the firewall as high as possible I think it would offer additional strength. Bent sheetmetal has quite a bit of strenth. Plus the loads of the strut bar would be working in sheer (mostly) with the firewall.
