The strut bolts are reversed on the 200SX/S13. So as well as shortening the centre bar substantially you will also need to redrill or manufacture new end plates.

This is another design for the end fitting.
It's simple, light & very strong by design. It has two curved gussets that support the cross tube that might be easily missed at first glance.
Sorry about the quality but I had to enlarge it a little.

A 510 strutbar is about the same size as a B210/310 sentra is about 3/4 to 1" wider I would assume a 240sx/silvia is alot wider still
haven't had much time with the 240sx tho...Quote:

What existing strut braces work in a 210? would a 240sx one work with mods or is there a better starting point?

these things cost like $30 I can't get my own made from scratch that cheap.

only $125 USD + Shipping ( not that he'll ship it anyways. )

Is there any demand for parts like these? Or do people who need them make their own...
