F41 and aftermarket bracing diagrams (MORE pics added)

[Minion1186]

I have a pair of cutlass x braces for the rad cradle if anyone's interested.$15 plus shipping.

Here is the front brace set-up on my car. Rather than stacking washers I made an aluminum spacer to fit between the ends of the two braces.

What's that, about 1/2" thick? I'm gonna be adding my GP bar to my car (already added the jounce bars) when I get the engine swapped. Might do the same thing. Definitely looks better that the washers.

I installed both mine on my coupe with no washers or anything just used longer grade 8 bolts to hold the dp bar and the jounce bars

My Cutlass already had the jounce bars, I used the same bolts and installed the GP bar on top of them.

I forgot to mention a 1/2" impact is your friend, lol......

Here is a pic without any washers or spacers. The grand prix bar is on top of the jounce bar. I just used the stock bolts that were holding the jounce bars to the frame. There may be a gap, but once you start tightening them up, the metal is thin enough on the GP bar that you don't have to heat it up and it will form against the jounce bar. Please excuse the dirt as the car has been sitting for almost a year now.
