Re: Front cross member braces from Ron Wood

["Allyn" <amalventano1@home.com>]

That cross member will make vibrations more noticable, since it effectively
stiffens the cross member/mount bracket. In exchange for increased
vibrations, you will get less stress cracking of the lower radiator support.

Hey, does anyone have a pic of what these things will look like? I can
picture it in my head, but thats the way i would design it, not necessarily
what Ron Wood is doing.
