monte carlo brace

There is a crossmember that runs under the engine; jack this up in the center and it will let the top of the shock towers relax. Depending on how much your shock towers have collapsed inward at the top, the result could be instant fit to letting it sit jacked up overnight. This crossmember attaches at both sides of the frame at the bottom; by jacking in the middle under the oil pan, the tops tend to go back to where they should be. A front end alignment may be necessary afterward.

Is there a Monte Carlo brace that will fit if you have AC?

Make sure you don't jack up the oil pan.

I'm confused. I thought a mc bar goes between the inner fenders in front of the shock towers.

Yes Brian you are correct, we are trying to help spread the shock towers apart so that it will fit. If you don't jack the car up from the center they cannot spread apart on there own.

well its not good that the fenders have collapsed on ya..mine went in with ease with a rubber mallet

it goes between the fenders at the seam where the shock tower is bolted. see attached photo of my 67.

Measurement needed

Can anyone measure or provide info on how far apart these should be (I am assuming the monte carlo braces are all the same) as I will have to make mine up for my I6 powered '65.

I would like to tighten my front up a bit.

When bought mine, I first got one with wrong measure, so you should check that you have the real piece... Sorry, can´t measure mine, I´m 12000km away of my car...

I am told they don't make them for the I6 - thus the need to make one. Help with measurement out there on existing braces??
