I don't know. Dale is a smart and talented guy who knows more than I do, so I'm guessing that under higher HP applications it matters. He said he was looking into obtaining the tooling and making some more soon.

I know that if you take the radiator support out witth the engine in you have to spread the shock towers to get it back in. They lean in a little from the weight. With that bar in place no movement. That's measurable.

BEEN THERE DONE THAT, ACTUALLY NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT, MADE SEVERAL👍👍
Well, I would be in if someone wants to start making something similar again. I actually called him a few months at his shop and they have not been made for years and the 200+ ones that were made out there are it from him. So I guess Captain Jeff.... when does production start?
If somebody has an example they could provide I’d be interested in making something. Have full machine shop capabilities and these are fun little side projects! Just don’t want to step on any toes and copy an original if they are still making them or have plans to produce them in the future.
I guess to follow up, when I spoke with Mr. Snokes he advised me he would not be creating anymore of these and the reason is he sold the tooling and bender that supported other parts and pieces he made as well. I'm fairly confident that the gates are open for these to be remade as long as someone researched there are no pending patents or just made them slightly different enough to avoid any legal risks.
