Been putting this off long enough and need to get this done. Is there anyone out there that has been able to get their strut tower brace to work fitting over the aftercooler tubing? Any kits out there to raise it up or do-it-yourself ways to accomplish this? Also, will it clear a stock hood?

Lookin for any workable solution

 

I have done it with the Hotchkiss STB, needed to get the mounting brackets modified to raise the STB about 1/2" higher than normal.

It all fits in there, just barely, had to remove the insulation on the underside of the hood.

Hope this helps

Great, thanks! I'm running the same STB so it should work out, although it looks awful tight in there where it would need to go. I know my aftercooler tube is already hitting the insulation under the hood.
