    Any 3 Point strut bars out there?

    Looking for a 3 point strut bar. Connects to the fire wall. Anyone know who makes one?

    Our firewall kinda has a giant hole where a 3 point would mount.

      E30 firewall is way too flimsy to use as structural support. and, there's the hole problem.

        Which is an off the top of my head in a completely random guess, a 20" x 6" problem.

        That's a pretty big problem for a 4"x4" plate.

            i think a 4 point under brace with a 2 point up top might be your best alternative.

              Why do you need a 3 point brace? They generally don't make a huge difference except for in Verts.

                This. I had thought about doing one but the firewall is not very strong, the gutter in the back could be a pick up point but might run into issues with the hood shutting properly.

                You could run struts with rod ends for misalignment to the upper rails somewhere infront of the strut towers, but I don't see that making a big difference.

                I think if you installed the vert strut reinforcement plates and a good strut bar like the sparco, you would get it about as good as you can get it without reinventing the wheel.

                  Was planning to do the vert reinforcement. Just trying to figure a way to get em without power tools at the yard

                    You can buy them new for a decent price, or if you have access to a shear and a brake you could make them. It is not a very complicated shape to make or bend.
