I cant post pictures of my car online atm. But I took some scrap aluminum. used an existing tower to trace the top 1/3 of the tower. Used an automatic punch to make the holes for the shocks. then I used a cut off wheel and a sanding drum from my dremel to cut/shape the piece. Then i slightly undersized the shock mount holes and 3m tapped them. I then bolted it up the the tower. marked any areas needing a little more material used, then used my sanding wheel to finish it off. The alum is 2mm thick. Took me about 30 minutes to make it. I have had it on the car for about a month, with it attached to a cracked tower. The tower has not broken any more, so the piece seems to work. the brace is less than a gram.
