calebz Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Ok, I'll bite. How much with shipping to 75070. If I get the job I am interviewing for on tuesday, I see a whole bunch of neat upgrades in my future. this will be at the top of the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 i'm sorry to have to say this but that won't work well as a STB. You have it mounted to the ears for the spare tire holder, which aren't designed to hold a lot of stress.. the mounts on the strut towers will just warp. You'll need to use at least two and preferably all three strut tower bolts to attach the braces for a STB. the idea about bracing it to the firewall is something you should pursue. good luck.

The Scooby Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 calebz, well from what i can find on the UPS web site is only over night and like 2nd day, so ill have to find something else to check, but the dismentions are 36X2X2 and about 3lbs. im guessing about $10 to ship, thats just shootin form the hip. baccruda, thats true, i didn't really think about that, then i guess i will just stiffen them up, or take the cut-off wheel to them, weld on a larger plate into the brackets on the STB and then bolt it to the tower itself. or figure something else out. plus im thinking of making a new one, but using the solid core round stock in 1inch, may weight more, but less flex, plus it would be stronger, and easier to weld. or use the square tubing i got. who knows, if anyone has sugestion please step forward. Thanks, Shean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 yeah, it's a good prototype or practice piece anyway.. look on ebay or google image search for pictures of mass produced STBs, that'll give you more ideas too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Plasma cut a bracket to wrap around the strut caps and then weld it to the bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scooby Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 ShawnW, i would, but wouldn't the bolts for the struts then be too short to put the nots back on, or what are those three bolts for. i was just thinking of making one that mounts to the side of the strut tower be the battery, the front of it facing the headlights, then tie it into the back or top also and triangulate it to ether the bolt whole where the stock spare hold down screws into and have a peice of flat car there and bolt to that. what do you think?
