Looking For A Strut Tower Brace - TPI

Hi everyone. Looking for a strut tower brace for my 85 Iroc. Car is TPI and I would prefer a 3 point STB. I can buy the 2 point new on Ebay for $150 by BMR but would like to find a Hotchkis or something like that. Thanks.

Re: Looking For A Strut Tower Brace - TPI

I believe I have an older BMR 3 TPI STB. It looks like STB004 except no BMR on the flat area above the TPI. The guy I bought it from lost the plate that attaches to the firewall lip. I was going to fab 1 from the 1/4 aluminum plate. BMR will sell you that bracket for $15 if you don't want to fab 1.

Redneckjoe, bending, cutting, grinding and drilling also. I'm trying to understand your design compared to the standard STB design. The pics are pretty fuzzy but I just don't get it.
