Strut Tower Brace For an 82 Bird

Are there any stb for an 82 bird out there that dont look like they were made from a coat hanger?

This is the only one i could find that said it would fit an 82 but it looks flimsy as heck.

I just posted on building my own wonder bar out of heavier material than you can buy, I am thinking that I might have to do the same thing for my stb.

TopDown sells a nice wonderbar for early third gens. I havnt had any luck with the STB though. I may just have to find someone to make one for me.

If you have the measurements and the distance between holes and that your local machine shop should be able to do it. Make a pattern out of stiff cardboard with the holes in it and everything let them know what your doing they may want to look at your car.

take a look at the UMI stb its adjustable and mounts on top of the strut plates so there is no drilling needed
