I Bought A Strut Tower Brace From Msa. It Has Less Than 1/8" Clearance From My Fuel Rack.(more Like 1/16") Is That Normal Or Should I Tweek The Bar. Im Afraid Of It Hitting

 

I wouldnt worry about it too much..

 

Make sure your motor mounts are in good shape Dont want that sucker torquing over into the bar. Just keep a fire extinguisher in your car and you can follow s/c's advice I'd personally make a little clearance if it's that close. Vibration alone can take up 1/16". Just take a dremel to the underside of the bar and shave another fraction of an inch out to be safe.

 

Shady... post a couple pics of the setup (I'm all about the visuals )

 

Ill Work On It, Tight Spot But I Should Be Able To Do It Once I Get The Cameras Program Loaded On This Thing

 

start the car, rev it, does the motor hit? Or jack up the rear , use 2 jack stands, start and rev while watching. You might need another person. But that will atleast put the motor under some load. If it hits while doing that, then it will certainly hit while driving. Or a small piece of material that indents easily, tape it in between, go for a ride, and if you see a indent or crushed, then you know it hits.

 

if you want to see if it will clear. have someone put the car in gear, foot on the brake and bring the rpm's up about 2500. the motor will twist on the mounts same as hard eceleration. if it does'nt hit then it prob won't while driving.

I Went Out And Looked Now That The Suns Out. The Paint On My Rail Is Missing So I Guess It Hits

 

Well, that is another way to find out. Way more simpler than any of the others.
