chassis brace pics?? 200

(inspired by Bill M's post...)

so i put some IPD sway bars on a couple months ago, was able to find them in a junk yard for a song. WOW! what a difference! (obviously). i would like to do some more chassis stiffining with some braces. from the low res pics i have seen on other sites, the upper braces (GT style), and the lower tie braces looked like very sipmle construction and installation. and the cherry turbo set-up looks pretty straight foreward as well. i work in the custom metals industry and would like to fashion some of these for myself. does anyone have some higher res pics that they could post here? particularly details of where the braces bolt to frame, chassis, & control arm? also, any dimensions would be helpful i.e. bar lengths, hole placement, bar thickness etc...

also, if there's interest, i would be happy to make a few sets of bars for other bricksters for a nominal fee, mostly to cover my expenses. once you've set up to make one item, it's usually very little additional work to make more.

thank you all - SPC - 1987 245DL 232k
