Very much doubt you will find a MightyBoy strut brace. Would be about as helpful as tits on a bull. ;)

Brayden is right there, the struts mount so close to the firewall that any further bracing is pointless & just makes the engine bay harder to work in.
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..

ill just have to make my own i need the extra bracing because there is alot more forces pushin on the towers since i have lengthenned the control arms for 3 to 6 deg camber i found the firewall is just not thick enough to weak
thanks anyway

Gav's strut brace would only work if you have an F6A because it uses the upper engine steady bolting point on the bulkhead.

Why not one that goes from strut to strut?

it pretty much does with the benifit of the fire wall getting streagthenned at the same time witch acts as a brace anyway!!

If i remember correctly, Casey's MB is a dedicated racer running a daihatsu sirion 1trl twin overhead cam fuel injected 3 cyl.
The dedicated race situation would require the brace considering the mods made to the front suspension.
Strut to strut will work but best if linked to the firewall (triangulated)
