Hey guys Ive looked on google with just about every wording choice I could think of.

Does anyone know if anyone sells just the strut tower plates for a DIY project?

The only thing I could find remotely close was front camber plates for $47 and rear pillow ball plates for like $70.

Both of which would give me the outside measurements but then I would have to cut out the centers and press out the studs.
But for the cost it simply would not be worth it, and they are aluminium which doesnt help because while yes I have a 220 mig, dont have a spool gun or the gas for aluminum welding.

Anyways I was wanting to make my own strut tower bars using panhead bars and heims from Speedway motors so I coukd adjust the preloads, but have had no luck finding prefabbed strut tower plates.

If no one kniws where I could source some I just may fab some up.
Beca fun project but definitely a more costly one than just purchasing some lol

most off the shelf strut braces are adjustable to an extent.
