so i was talking with my shop teacher today and i asked if i could make a front strut bar for my 1991 20v90q sedan. he said being in some drawings and measurements and ill consider it. so does anyone have any drawings already made? id need the mounts and everything. i know some
of you make your own parts so i thought it was worth a shot. thanks guys

Either base it off of the Jamex design but do not make it with the bend, make it strait across. Or another idea would be to find some brackets from a 90 for the stock 90 bar and have them welded to your car. Next use the dimensions of the stock 90 bar to make a better bar . Good luck. If you don‼sup>TM</sup>t have the option of taking the dimensions from a 90 I will provide them for you just ask. If I had AutoCAD on this comp I could draw it up for you as well. Wouldn't AutoCAD just be nice to have?

"Mechanics of Materials" is your friend to size the cross bar....

It goes around the upper strut mount and is tack welded down from what I recall. I wouldn‼sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;t make the bracket but I gave the dimensions of the height and length so you could draw one up or something. Now you need to work something out with the boltholes.
