F41 and aftermarket bracing diagrams (MORE pics added)

Does anyone have a picture of the lower control arm braces. Seen them here before but would like a picture or pictures of them installed. I have nearly all the braces except for the lca ones. Just need better weather so I can get my trans in and start putting in the braces. 😀
 
if they are the cowl to core support braces,usually one is straight and the other has a bend in the middle. They are pretty much the longest braces made that i have seen and i've only seen them one 78-81 Montes.
 
Over the years I have put 7 additional braces on my Monte SS,heres pictures;

I also have another homemade brace at the front,I wanted to tie the ends of the frame together,but the air box is in the way

I have my doubts that this one does much,but its made out of aluminum,so its pretty light

Hey , do I win anything for the longest running thread on the forum, 2+ years and counting. :mrgreen:
 
you win much kudos.
 
Bob,
you definitely deserve kudos for this thread. Besides, it was very well compiled... :wink: and I'm sure had since generated more interest in adding factory bracing to our G-bodies. Thumbs up to you, my man for the longest running thread I can remember.
 
I picked up a set of cowl to core braces and was wondering if anyone has some good pics of exactly where they mount on the cowl. Reason is I have and "88 without the holes on the cowl.
