    Saw a set on a car at the strip. Guy could not remember where he purchased them. Adjustable heim joints at both ends of round rods with hitch pin connections to the tower bracket and cowl bracket. Easily adjustable and removeable. Anyone know who might make these?

    Here is one company that I've been thinking about for shock tower braces. They call them export braces in their catalog. They don't list them for Mavericks but for Falcons...they might need modifications to fit but I'm not sure.

    Gene, if you're thinking of using them let me know and I'll tell you what I had to do to make them fit. The ones I used were for the early Mustang. You can see them in the link in my post.:)
