Default Strut tower brace weld

Has anybody tried to weld the STB into the car? Would this work? Also would a STB from a 04 9C1 Impala work on our car, as I have access to a couple of junked ones.

I'm thinking that the STB on the 9C1 Impalas is the GMPP STB. And this is where people are running into the issue of it clearing the alternator and hood. As far as welding one on, I don't know about that, maybe someone else can chime in on that.

Sure you could weld it. . .Where would you want to weld it. The nice thing about STB is that you mount them to the top of the mount, that high point is optimal. Where would you want to weld?
