84 Z28 Camaro Strut Tower Brace

I need a tower brace for my 84 Camaro that will clear a Demon 750 w/ 1" spacer and a Edelbrock 14" diameter 3" height Air cleaner. I see they have plenty for TPI but I cant seem to find anything for a carburetor camaro.
Any Help will be appreciated..
Thanks Dave

I think Hotchkis has one for TBI/Carbed cars. It's a triangulated one that connects to the firewall as well as the strut towers.

what size tubing would be used to make one of those? I am interested in fabricating my own strut tower but am unsure of the dimensions.

The edelbrock TBI brace should clear your air cleaner..but You may have to Lose your A/C (if you have it) to make the brace fit.

Or you could use the edelbrock TBI brace to model the one youre making yourself.
