The fender Monte Carlo brace is usually installed second but, can be installed independently of the export and truss braces. Its purpose is to fix the distance between the shock towers. The brace resists the tendency of the shock towers to move toward each other during braking and cornering. Overall length is adjustable, as well as bracket placement, providing mounting flexibility during installation. Removal of the two button head fasteners securing the rod ends enables access to the engine compartment. Mounting of the fender brackets require drilling four holes into the inner fender. Zinc plated, steel back-up support brackets are installed on the backside of the inner fender securing the brace at the strongest point of the factory sheet metal. The mounting brackets are positioned forward of the shock towers and provide adequate clearance for use with large diameter distributors. Some installations may have clearance issues with A/C compressors or centrifugal superchargers. Suggested modifications to the brace enabling use are illustrated in our installation instructions. The radius rod is 6061-T6 aluminum tubing with left and right-hand threads. Left-hand threads are indicated by a knurl near the end of the tube. The assemblies overall length was originally designed for specific applications but its simple mounting method and adjustable length make it possible to use in additional applications.
