The problem is the "nutserts". If you have a nutsert tool it would be fairly easy. I guess you could buy the brace and lay it up on the tower and then mark accordingly. What I do not know is whether or not the tower was reinforced to accomodate the stress of the brace addition. In the converts they added weight and I am thinking that is where the added weight may have come from was in reinforcement in addition to the roof and towers. You may have to pull the inner liner to take a look and compare it to a car with the bolts.

I was looking at a BMR brace and you have to remove the shock and drill holes to use bolts. Might as well go with the stock 2012 brace and then drill the holes.

I remember a few years back working on a friends 2003 Mach 1 mustang and he ordered a Steeda brace bar and we had to drill some holes in the tower also.

The weather in MN is supposed to be in the 60's this whole week. Just may pull the Camaro out of storage early this year. Haven't driven her since last October.

This would be highly recommended as it is a guarantee to bring on youthful feelings and an early summer! Have fun. Do it!

Just got off the phone with the Insurance man and Car-Mine will be out tomorrow.

In the low 70's here and the same next week.

BowlingSS · 03-17-2012, 05:22 PM

Just washed my baby. Zaino'd the leather seats. Cleaned the CAI, Inc filter and cleaned the exhaust tips. I think I will give her a Zaino polish.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey Bill,
We ended up with the wettest Sunday in over a year! It has been raining here pretty steady for the better part of 24 hours. March miracle! April showers and May flowers ahead. Back to work blues.
