[DeTomaso] Camber brace pic requested

[Ken Green]

    Not wanting to be a wet towel (or what ever people say) the brace behind the engine looks like a really poor design.  It's under compression, and the joints at the center are just begging to flex.  I think it would be a lot better design if the "turn buckels were at the outboard ends.  
   
      Maybe just use square tubing and fit it to the car?  Might not have the bling, but I think it would be more functional.

Afternoon;


Does anyone have any pics of the double camber brace like the one Precision
Performance sells. Their new web site does not show the brace very well. I
am fashioning my own and want to use stainless rod bearing ends (Heim
joints) rather than a bushing. I am getting quite a bit of cracking of the
paint around the boxed ends of my camber brace housing and think by having
additional attachment points I can slow or stop the current cracking. Not
really ready to do the repaint the engine bay thing again even though the
engine is out. Please send pics to rimov at charter.net

Thanks 

Paul
