As Gene said "THEY DON'T GOT NO STRUTS"
The shock tower are just that mounting points for the shocks and actually take no part in the suspension or weight bearing part of the front suspension. thus putting a brace between them would be purely WANK value and serve no purpose in strengthing or tighten the front end of a gemini up. |

| old mate had a gem that he used to thrash, after taking corners really hard, we had little creases between the spotwelds on the shock towers, a "strutbrace" mught not help all too much but i know there is possible strengthening to be done somewhere in that area. welding the seams in the towers is sposed to be good |
