New Rear Strut Bar Made and Installed

[mushroom_toy]

Well like the title said finally got some work done today. We started off with a delsol strut bar, and shortened it and rewelded/decurved it, and ended up with a nice rear tower bar, after sone clipping and coaxing. Then I got it home sanded it down and painted it with 2 coats high temp flat black, then 2 coats of the factory color code. Car is much stiffer in the rear with both this and the Vigor bar I installed a while back. Cheers. I love it!

What we started with. Del Sol front strut bar.


After cutting it, rewelding the arm on, and shaping it pretty good. Also after I sanded it down.


Paint!


In car!!!!




The holes arent the greatest, and the cuts made with the zizwheel arent perfect, but it serves its purpose damn good. Function over form.

[MessyHonda]

One bolt is plenty on the rear.

Scored it for free from a friend.

Vigor rear bar and Vigor mounts + rear strut bar = plenty of change for me. Rear chassis is stiff!

[ghettogeddy]

[BITESIZE]

Its already been sanded and painted color of the car yo. youll have to either buy one of justins, or find a bar from another car and make it work, or just make your own. What I used it a Del Sol Strut bar cut and coaxed to fit. XD

but is one bolt really enough or is it gona be to much on it

I see it this way. The rear only has two bolts holding the stur assembly on anyway, so one should be good enough and should be too much stress either.

Good job mushroom

Thanks.

It took so damn long to mod the bar...Plus I dont have the tools, or I would. If yall buy me some torches, zizwheels, drill presses and stuff, Ill make all of you free bars....that look a lot better too.

Not to bad for a garage built. And yes free is best. the lesss you ahve to spend the more money you got to save. good job. make me one..lol

[stat1K]

my guess is it will break with the one bolt but that's just my guess. i had a front strut bar (the ebay kind) on my rex and the mount broke with 2 holes so i'm guessing one would probably do the same... although this is the rear not the front but nevertheless that's my opinion.

Well after you came to my post and put a bull sht azz reply i thought id coem back and tell you that your craftmanship is in need of work why didnt you just get a broom stick and paste it? might of did the same thing you accomplished. with your one bolt mount you should be rockin the roadway. good job . did you get a hamster in a wheel for your motor too? i would take it out if i was you. looks like sht.

[labeledsk8r]

ehh for free not bad, i would be worried about snaping a mounting bracket... might be easy to cut out some round disks and then adding them on to that to make the 2 bolt round bracket?? if its allready the corect lenght might make modding easyer.. but for free not bad at all function over form
