Just bent 2 pieces of flat iron to form the mounting bracket, and drilled the holes to bolt them to the necessary points. 2 bars, 4 holes. Not hard, just must make sure the angles are where you want them to be. I used a piece of wire hanger to make the template for the bending, which was done in an old bench vise. came out pretty good, I'd say... :>)

when reffering to the flat iron are you talkin about the mounting brackets purchased at home depot? cus im really interest in this project. and did you paint it yourself or it came like that.
i think it would be beneficial only if u road race alot and let the trans shift at its max point alot. i had interest in this awhile ago but i dont have the resources to bend nor do i have the patience to do a project like this. but it was a good idea and write up
ok well here was my attempt at installing a dampener. I have to redo the support bar its not strong enough obviously. I had to work with what I got. So that will be saved for another day.
as for what they do. They dampen the engine movement under acceleration. by doing this it allows more power to be transferred to the ground rather than lose it through engine movement/wheel hop. type of transmission and rpm level really has no mojor affect has no affect.
Basically it is like a traction bar on RWD. This is a traction bar for a FWD
I had to take it off because the brace wasn't strong enough and rattled the screws loose and make a loud noise inside the cabin. So when I get more time I will design a much more strong/ permanent brace.
