[DeTomaso] Engine Bay Brace question

[GW]

Not only are there other things involved but this is overkill for what I 
am doing. It's not bent but like many others who are bent it would not 
be a critical issue at that point for that purpose.

There are advantages and disadvantages to having the 45's in or further 
out but this is so overkill it doesn't matter. The heims are plenty 
strong for their application. With 4 corners and at the angles they are 
attached bending angles are minimal and not an issue.
