90 Stress bar install



    Finally got around to installing the Jamex stress bar in my son's
20V 90. Thank you John Karaski!. Went to the websites John suggested and
read the procedures. Then I remembered an old EC article on stress bar
installation. Since I save such goodies I was able to adapt their
process and bypass a few headaches.
    Basically the EC article (August 92) explains haow to install a
Neuspeed bar using something called a "Nutsert". A Nutsert is a threaded
insert that is compression installed in the strut tower. Only 1 hole
need be drilled  in the top sheet metal.(double wall tower). No welding
and the anchor is now flush to the sheet metal. Very clean installation.

    Was able to find Nutserts at a nearby tool supply. They are probably
available from Neuspeed.
    Like the steering on the car with the bar installed. Seems quicker.
Then again I don't drive the 90 that often.
