Default Strut tower bar that fits over plenum spacer?

So I installed my powerlab plenum spacer and I don't like the washers. Are there any strut bars that fit over the plenum+spacer without using washers? hehe

I did tryto search but after reading through 30 threads of non related stuff I gave up.

I don't think anyone has attempted this yet. If there has been, they have not posted it. i would contact Intense, for they have done a lot of these in there shop, and possibly with an aftermarket strut bar.

Yeah I am using the washers on the stock but I think it looks kinda tacky hehe. I used some bigger washers than the tiny ones powerlab packs with them, so I only have 2-3 on instead of 5 tiny *** ones.

oh, I have the ones from Motordyne. they are beefy. maybe you could buy them from Tony? no idea if they are different.

but like I said, if they bother you that much you could just use the strut bar without them.

any strut brace will need some sort of spacers to clear a plenum spacer

I have the Carbing bar and the Motordyne 5/16" spacer, and the bar fits without washers. Unfortunately, looks like I'm going to have to find one that fits over the plenum spacer and under my new hood so I might not be able to keep this one

How about the strut bars that fit "in front" of the plenum? Similar to this one...
