#16165, "Gauging for interest in a new upper front STB."




          

I am almost done with the design on a new 4 point upper front strut tie bar. As soon as I have the time I will build a proto-type. I am just curious if there is an interest in this. If so, I will build it froma jig. Otherwise I will just build my own as a one of a kind.

It will mount to 4 points under the hood and it will be even more rigid than the Neuspeed bar.

It will be $100 plus shipping (unknown amount at this time.) It will come spray painted. If you want it powder coated it will be a little more. (I have to have one to find out how much it will cost. )

I am not looking for orders right now, I just want to know who is interested.

OH, and the best feature, it does NOT block the oil fill cap!

I would be interested as long as it doesn't mount to the bolt the Neuspeed bar mounts to and as long as it doesn't hit my coolant lines (or whatever that hard metal line is by the shock mount on the passenger side).

It will mount to all 4 of the pivot bolts. (The neuspeed bolts to the 2 rear pivots). This bar will replace the Neuspeed and render it totally useless. The material is the same I use for the lower bars. It is a thick wall tubing. As for the hard line (Which is an A/C line.), it clears it without issue.

I have a stock 97 ESI and want to tighten it up. If it fits the ESI too (assume it would) i'm in.
