I’m creating this one because the one that I found is over 10 years old and it didn’t have the answers that I needed.

Basically I bought the straight Monte Carlo bar and you know the three bolts there on both ends and it has the angle lined up perfectly but the alternator is in the way so I need the one that wraps around it you know has the little bowed out in the middle.

The bar doesn’t go on top of this shock struts or anything it goes basically in front of it in the corner about 4 inches down you on both those two bolts there on each side I think you’d probably have to remove on the driver side the washer reservoir which I had to remove mine already so I don’t know if you had to or not but that’s basically where it goes.

I saw a photo of my motor so you can see my motor which is basically the stock air filter although the do you know intake is high so their filter is high but that doesn’t have anything to affect the Monte Carlo bar.

So I’m hoping some people on here have a Monte Carlo bar already that may have photos of it and could put reply and put their photos on it and the ones with the boat out to where it’ll fit where the alternator goes there’s so many different types that you can buy that have the bow But a lot of them look like they fit in a different spot not like the straight one here

Thank you in advance for anybody that can help me I really appreciate it.

I think this one I had taken a photo of from one of the Mustang sites that sell them I just don’t know which one yet but looking at it the way the end are looks like it might be the right one .

But still I’d like to see anybody else what they’ve done which one they got brand where I can get it etc. what they think of it.

I’m in a bit of a hurry I’ve got that road race for the MidAmerican Shelby meeting in June and since my car is in a shop at my family‘s farm in sand Springs Oklahoma. It’s hard to get over there to finish everything in time for June especially for my when I have surgery in March which will put me out for 6 to 9 weeks not sure 6 to 8 weeks but we’ll see but I see anybody else’s thank you
