I decided that I would play with some power tools.
Tools required:
sawzall
drill
BFH
5 foot cheater
C-clamp
barstock
13mm socket
13mm ratcheting wrench.
For my first cabby I bought a upper strut tie, that was so wrong. Then I got another a geuine Nuespeed off of EBAY that FED-exlax delivered to the wrong address, but they never fessed up till after the buy-back had expired. So I bought another that I have to modify. I took it off the totaled cabby but hat one would mean that I would have to Modify the current cabby and I didn't like that Idea.
So I gave it to a forum member who had a use for it, so it is on his car....
(secretly I wished I had installed a remote control device to play havoc....
) So still I had the original A2 that I thought about offering back up to ebay, but when you are on drugs you can have the most vivid dreams.
With a little paint, and some creative use of a Cheater Bar to bend the metal, and a sawsall to cut down the radiator jug bracket, I needed to get it as low as it could go so I trimmed it even with the strut tower (about 1/4 of and inch give or take).
I then bent and installed this A2 tie-bar
From this
To this
It fits and clears the Radiator jug by 1/8 of an inch... YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAA
I did paint it Gold...
