t44 strut tower brace pic

[Ken Keith]

I see that there too, crediting that place with the mod, but the
brackets don't look aftermarket or custom.  They look rather OEM. 
It's not unlikely that a shop would use OEM parts in their
modifications.  Others have suggested that it incorporates urS car
brackets, which I suspect too.

Some other responses:

I didn't think V8's had braces, but that's mentioned too.  Maybe that
is referring to just the reinforcing plates between the strut tower
and the firewall.

Anyway, I was just curious. =)
