I've tried just about everywhere around town looking for T-bar aluminum to make the front lexan windshield braces. Anybody have any ideas? I hit up Lowes, HD, True-Value, and the large private owned shop that has a warehouse full of materials.
It's 1" x 1/8" x 96". Where can I find it? Online is cool too. |

I see you addresses Jason hope I'm not steppin in it now. Your car must be gone?
I had 44.5" per brace in front. But I covered the entire span,in hope of extra rigidity. 16 ft. did the front and rear speedglass 2 braces per no problem had little left. don't fudge :) I think I did a wonderful job with mine I'm very pleased (I took pics of most all details in sig.).If you have some question I can answer for you as you get going don't hesitate. Those little details make it a success. Rush and you may screw up. I used 3/16" though. I cant figure if thin would be easier or harder hmmm. Easier but harder to cut gonna be jittery and maybe fracture if you try to cut to fast. I went and got 2 different blades for the jig saw made for plexiglass. Bosch had a cool one. Tony |
