I ust added the Strange development bar in the polished finish along with
the Ford factory Engine Cover. Clearance is not a problem at all.

That level picture looks like its pretty darn close tho, that even engine movement could hit the bar?

Not really a good picture. There is at least 1/4 - 3/8" of clearance.

I've driven my car pretty hard since installing the brace. There is no sign of any rubbing issues, whatsoever. And .. the front end feels noticeably more solid.

Thumbs up Here is the Billet Double Brace

I ordered the one pictured in post 1 of this topic. It didn't fit over my plenum cover at all. They mentioned they had a new billet STB coming out and I could get it when it was ready. I sent back the other STB and they issued full credit for it. I kind of forgot about the new billet STB until it arrived in UPS one day. It's adjustable and very stout when it's all put together. It's less then $300. I'd post the final price, but I don't think they care for that here........Give GMS a call and they can fill you in.

The GMS Billet caps actually allow for a single, double or triple adjustable rod connection

JR, your avatar is as big as most of the car photos people are posting. It's a sweet pic, though.

You can build a record setting engine, but you can't shrink a pic for the avatar????

My question is why doesn't the brace in post # 15 look like this one? Is it four point on each side or two? What is it made of and coated with? Why are both the single and double looking different from your web page?
I ask because this one looks nice to me, but I ain't buyin' 'til I know what I'm gettin'.
