Nine years ago (approximately) I designed a rear brace for a G-body. Although quite crude since my fabrication skills and equipment were not so good, the design had great potential.
The design bolted to where the rear seat latch striker bolts to and runs behind the rear seat backs and to the other side. I was also going to take it a step further and attach the bar to where the rear seat "bench" bolts to the chassis of the car. Again, still no modifications necessary and it remains a bolt-on product while further increasing chassis stiffness. The design required minimal or no modification of anything and kept the rear seat folding feature fully functional. The bar was also pretty easily removable as well. Removability shouldn't be a big concern anymore since nobody hauls stuff around in these cars anymore (almost a classic car not to be used as a pickup truck). This should be verifyable in the SDML archives and I can pretty confidently say that I was the first one to build such a bolt-on device for the rear of a G-body. I will be the first to buy the rear one based off of the design I mentioned, provided it looks as nice as the front ones. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
