Question What is this picture of?

I have some pictures of this. I know that it is some sort of shock tower brace. It fits fine over the top of my motor to bolt up to the shock nuts. But there is one bolt underneath towards the back of the firewall on the brace. It obviously requires some sort of modification to my car to make that bolt screw in. Has anybody seen this and who makes it?

It looks like a chrome version of the MAC STB for the f cars... but there is no way thats a Fox Body brace.. the holes are not in the right spots and the rear mounting point would never work on a fox body car.

I'd not use that particular one or any one that mounts under the cowl. It just seems like a bad idea to transfer a load and torque the area under the windshield.
