So I thought before the LukeH's thread dries out, I should keep the inspiration high and fabricate couple of them for myself. I used 3/4 " EMT through out. I also tied strut towers. It does feel that front is more tighter,less shaky and controlled . I think clearance wise even 1" dia EMT can be pushed.
So far I have not taken the car on highway. I had to elongate holes on one side of all braces. In case of tower to fire wall brace I should have drilled the strut tower hole first . I will cover the lower braces with undercoat and paint the upper ones. Tools used : Hammer, hacksaw, drill.


Here are some wet photographs of my crude effort

You can see my anvil right at the end of photograph . That was a good idea.
Thanks to brace fabricators
