Got a new CF hood and so now my nice chromed and powder coated strut bar will not fit due to the plenum spacer.

Does anyone have a template to modify the engine cover to fit a Crawford Z Performance strut bar? SO that the bar runs through the engine cover

Needless to say, I need the Crawford strut bar and will be selling my current strut bar.

 

I had to modify my engine cover for my aps strut bar like this:

 

Your cover has such clean cuts, what did you use to cut into the engine cover?

 

even though I still have my strut, I bought this from someone who had a lifted Plenum like you too. cuts were done with drill bit sander. just another pick, hope these help.

 

arc oil catch can? baller!!!

 

Yeah, it's ARC, along with my cooling shroud :P




But as for what was used to cut it. I honestly don't know. I took my car into Injected and had them cut it while it was in there. But, if you do cut it, I would put an oil based paint around the cut edges. This would eliminate any color difference and my stop from flaking at the edge.
