swap meet score! now what?

[Ted87GT]

I picked up a kenny brown strut tower brace at a drag race yesterday for $10. It didn't come with instructions though so I have a few questions. Is there anything I should watch out for when I drill the holes? How to I get the nuts onto the bolts in the firewall? I'm not sure how to get access to tighten them behind the dash. Any Tips or little things I should know? thanks

I believe you are going to drill into where the cowl area is. That area where the wipers attach to. Double check on that though. I don't remember going under the dash to install a friends. Just put the strut brace up there and you will see where everything needs to go. You dont really need instructions for it. Mark twice, cut/drill once. have a buddy help you hold it up while yuo mark the holes. I would get a good mark on one hole then bolt it in. That will help you brace it up while you fit and drill the other holes. Good score man!

Send me a PM with your email addy in it. I have the complete instructions on my home computer and can forward you the whole thing.

hey thanks for the help guys. Do you think it's going to make a noticeable difference in the handling of the car? I mean I don't expect anything huge but it would be nice to feel a difference

No... I don't think it's going to make a noticable difference in how the car feels. You've already got the subframe connecots in and that's what made the largest difference in "feel" on my 86. I sent you the instructions for the kit to the email addy you sent.

im sure it will be noticeable. i didnt think i would notice much when i got lower control arms and subframes and i was shocked what a difference they made
