I knew somebody was going to ask me that question...
Their is a piece of 2x2 sq. tubing .120 wall that we put inside of the inner cowl structure that was welded thru the interior underdash.. plus a 1/4 plate flange so that the round flanges for the down bars on the firewall have a bearing surface..
I put in a request to the machine shop last week to make some more flanges.. waiting on cost to see if I will offer them for sale..

The firewall in these cars is just sheet metal with no real support behind it as I recall. So I'm wondering how much actual benefit these bars would be in preventing subframe flex...
I recall seeing somewhere that you make the round adapters that go in the firewall. If so, do you sell those as well? Depending on the answers to the above, I might consider a set for my car, but I won't have a cage to attach to behind the dash...
Thanx!
