Pics or gtFo!
So this is what the standard tie bar mount bracket looks like that bolts up to the front panel on the 200sx...

It also holds the mounting point for the anti-roll bar...

I've been working for a while now on how best to utilise this and make the mounts up. I don't really want to have it protruding past the front of the car now nor do I want it welded in completely because it is a bolt on part. Whatever I do it needs to retain strength. They're not under the same kinda strain as a fwd car but there is still a good amount of force put through them.
What I've come up with is this...

It is obviously unfinished and a work in progress but you can see the direction its heading. Where the top piece meets the old bracket I'm thinking of running a horizontal from one side to the other or make triangulate again to the middle of the front member, or both, not 100% yet.
That looks good.
It's looking very intricate now, I hope it comes together how you want it as it would be a nightmare figuring out what's not right if it's not driving how you want it... Does look good though ;)
Thanks guys. There's definately parts i would do differently/better if doing again but its too late to go back now.
