I have designed a brace that is adjustable to go between the tops of the
shock towers.  It allows for camber adjustment if the towers are already
bent out of shape or as the car ages.  Also for racing it will allow set up
for the particular track.

Terry Tanner has also designed a fixed brace that he will sell quite reasonably.

His brace allows the use of the stock air cleaner.  Mine would require
either a smaller air cleaner or a modified stock cleaner to clear the bar.

This is something you must have though if you plan on racing the car.
