Has anybody tried putting the Hotchkis cowl to control arm braces on a 2nd gen Firebird? I know their ad states Camaro only but was curious as what the difference was. Other brands show that the Camaro and Firebird are the same.

thanks, Mike

They don't fit with a Pontiac, Why would you not get the other ones that fit?

PTFB makes adjustable ones that fit, I'm running them on my 73 TA.

I honestly don’t see why they wouldn’t fit. There may be some clearance issues with the inner fender...

The F-body is basically the same with the exception of the body panels.

Camaros have much differently shaped inner fender wells.
