Rear Shock Tower Braces.............interested?

Is there a difference between various years in EARLY Fox platform cars? I'm thinking of building BOLT in rear shock braces rather than the usual using the shocks. I might need to build them on a case by case basis IF there are differences. Thanks Have heard and seen 37' to 38 1/2".

UPDATE.

I will solve the difference in EARLY fox bodies by building an ADJUSTABLE brace for street applications. Threaded rod stock and jam nut to secure the distance. Two 3/8" Grade Eight bolts hold it in place....two holes must be drilled. I will build them in bare metal, primer or painted to your choice and fasteners are included. Currently projected cost is between $55.oo to $60.oo shipped to your door.


also have a third idea......a bolt on similar to the braces I had been building for T-Birds and Cougars.

The Fox body braces will be similar to the pic (my MN-12 braces)... they will have an 8 degree angle to match the tower and notched to clear the shock bushings yet allow them to be bolted in.

Well....I shipped another one through U.P.S. today...........painted grey as per buyers instructions. Have two styles available one I regard as heavy duty ( uses 4 bolts to mount it) the other for purely street driven cars (uses 2 bolts to mount it).

I have an especially great solution and much more attractive as well................any added strength to a unibody car is a plus....will post a pic soon.......have been busy working on the best brace possible.
