This is how I made my rear brace.
22mm round stock T6-6061 aluminum
6 threaded fork ends with jam nuts
2 - 1/2 fine thread taps(one right hand one left hand)
Tap drill
6 8MM GRADE 8 ALLEN BOLTS
6 nylock nuts
8mm T6-6061 aluminum plate
round stock to fit over shock bolt
really long bolts to go through the top of the shock
steel tabs to weld to frame horns
The entire set up is made from aluminum except for the fork ends. I chose aluminum for many reasons: easy to work with, lightweight, and you can polish it easily. You can see a picture of the set up along with my front strut brace on page 5 of the suspension galleries on germanlook.com.
Sorry I don't have any dimensions but when I go home I will take some. The hardest part was fabricating the part that attaches to the top of shock. I had the tabs welded at 90 degrees from each other. It took some clearancing to get the length on that part so it would clear the body.
