Tremec TKX first cuts

SlantedDart said
nice thread. I’m waiting for my tkx swap for my dart. What’s the final verdict on putting the upper brace back in? I’m split on putting it back in.. lower mount( if made correctly) could be able to support the torsion bar twist?
Secondly. What master kit did you guys go with? I’ll probably be using sst pedal kit.
Lastly I have a bench seat also.. I’m planning on making the actual stick. From these photos it seems the shifter in the very back position is good?
Thanks!

I would strongly advise against operating the car without the upper torsion bar brace. It is imperative to handle the torsion bar forces. Hooker part number BHS578 is by far the simplest, cheapest, and best solution I have come across (and currently use).

I got everything from SST (except for the aforementioned part).

I also have a bench, and yes, the shifter in the rearmost position should clear the bench no problem.
