Would probably be worth your while making one if you can get your hands on a welder.

There can only be one size the distance between the struts is never going to change lol. Different brands are different shapes some go behind out the way some go accross and so,e loop I front of the engine but will always have the same length gap to fit to the strut top mount

Making your own would probably end up being stronger depending what you use. And for the brand whores, buy a sparco sticker and slap it on
haha.

Using a decent grade stainless steel would probs be best and if you've got some plating lying round it would be beneficial for strength purposes to just weld it directly to the shell for some added stiffness. If you look on eBay brand whores have the option of buying the sticker from a nod bottle like the actual one that's on my bottle. Crazy!

Angle iron and some discs cut from scrap sheet metal would probably be about a tenner and a lot stronger too I would reckon hahaha

Don't think anyone makes them off the shelf for the smaller engines. Ota pointless other then to looks good lol. Few places will make them custom but it's a fortune as they need to fabricate the mould specially
