Are any of you guys running an engine stay rod on a MK1? If so, do you mind sharing your ideas on how you made yours. It seems the most challenging part is where to attach it to the body?

I was either thinking a tube with a rod end on each side and trying to attach it near the rear tranny mount, since that is about the most durable place on the body, but the steering rack seems to get in the way. Another possibility is on the timing belt side of the engine attaching to a bracket that would be welded to the body above the area where the tie rod goes through. Would it be as effective if its not located in the center of the engine/tranny????



Or instead of a solid tube something similar to this with bushings inorder to not be so harsh on the attaching points??
