I picked up a kenny brown strut tower brace at a drag race yesterday for $10. It didn't come with instructions though so I have a few questions. Is there anything I should watch out for when I drill the holes? How to I get the nuts onto the bolts in the firewall? I'm not sure how to get access to tighten them behind the dash. Any Tips or little things I should know? thanks

I believe you are going to drill into where the cowl area is. That area where the wipers attach to. Double check on that though. I don't remember going under the dash to install a friends. Just put the strut brace up there and you will see where everything needs to go. You dont really need instructions for it. Mark twice, cut/drill once. have a buddy help you hold it up while yuo mark the holes. I would get a good mark on one hole then bolt it in. That will help you brace it up while you fit and drill the other holes. Good score man!

hey thanks for the help guys. Do you think it's going to make a noticeable difference in the handling of the car? I mean I don't expect anything huge but it would be nice to feel a difference

No... I don't think it's going to make a noticable difference in how the car feels. You've already got the subframe connecots in and that's what made the largest difference in "feel" on my 86. I sent you the instructions for the kit to the email addy you sent.
