I dont think there is enough room over the engine in the 123?

TBH, I looked into this for my W123, I spoke to a friend of mine who is an automotive development engineer.
He had a look at the suspension set up on a W123, and told that, due to it being a double arm suspension, rather than struts, a bracing bar would actually serve no purpose what so ever. Ecept for looking good when you lift the bonnet.
Appartently, the stresses go back through the bulkhead(firewall), so the only way to effectively brace the front suspension is to make a brace that goes back to the bulkhead, like an export brace on an early Ford Mustang.
