Strut Tower Brace experience?

[gnosez]

I found a better picture. We bolted it in and backed up the metal inside the cowl area.

On a separate note, once we added the bracing similar to ones used in the GTU car we had to come up with a way for the wiper arm to work since it's path was blocked by the tube connecting the driver's side strut tower and the upright tube in from of the shifter which ties into the cross=member under the dash. That side is higher to allow clearance for the carbs. We cut the lower wiper arm and fabbed an upside down "U" which was bolted in. It's hard to get a good picture but i think you're get the idea.

Nice looking parts.  How did you tie the front brace into the cowl?

A piece of angle iron on the back of the brace has two nuts welded underneath, then two holes drilled through the lip of the cowl, you could also add a small plate on top of the lip to sandwich the cowl lip.
