I will throw this out.....

Could Mirko develope rear strut tower "wings" (what his STB and the ST200 4-point brace bolts to) similar to what the Cougar has? At least a few CEGers have built homemade wings to weld on to STB so they could mount the ST200 rear STB. This would allow you to use the Cougar rear STB already available on Contours..reduced R&D cost I would think..I would buy a pair so I could mount my ST200 brace..I rather do this than fabricate.

These wings could be bolt in or weld in...
