[DeTomaso] Rear accessory engine bay brace

[B Hower]

I was looking for the square upper bar as shown, over a year ago. When I called Hall I was told that their supplier had quit and that they were in the process of securing a new supplier. And that the estimated delivery time would be 4 to 6 weeks out. I bought a used square one. It may be that the new ones are round.

You are correct. Tuesday through Friday from 10-4 or thereabouts. 

Oddly, they no longer show the whole kit on the website. They only show the upper bar, and it's not the square bar they used to sell. Instead it's a round tube, of the type which comprises a portion of the Byars upper rear kit. 

I maintain that the original hall setup, consisting of a square tube upper and round lower, with a pair of triangulation tubes between them, is the ultimate setup. If the upper and lower parts are not connected to one another with these tubes, the effectiveness is drastically reduced, to the point where I would suggest that the lower piece is just a waste of time, and serves as little more than ballast.
