No, it's not a kit. The struts came from McMaster Carr and the bracketry I fabricated myself out of 0.080" aluminum sheet. The brackets reinforces the fender to the fenderwell by tieing it all together.

Now I've no more worries at shows with the wind unloading the hood brace and busting fiberglass when the hood slams down on top of the rod.

Here's a coiple pics of the bottom end.
