Custom Aluminium Diagonal Braces For Engine Bay Strut Tower Fire Wall

Custom Aluminium Diagonal Braces For Engine Bay Strut Tower Fire Wall
im making custom aluminium diagonal braces for my brz.

Any suggestions on design?

i was just thinking of copying the stock braces and making it solid. not hollow like the oem. i can copy the part almost exactly but i will make the mounting spots a bit thicker. or should i make the bars thicker also?

i noticed that there are adjustable aftermarket diagonal braces.
i think a fixed design is better.
anyone care to chime in?

Free? Sure, go for it.

Yours isn't going to be the only design or idea on the market.

there is no "best." they all prevent the towers from flexing. just make a tower bar and call it a day.
