The one on the market 20 years ago, went vertical, to the seatbelt mounts near the rockers, iirc, and would do a lot more to stiffen than a horizontal bar across a relatively weak Targa bar not designed for longitudinal stiffness.

It worked and the hi freg noises went away. Also, it stiffen the chassis quite a bit. The people that drove my car were impressed, but I thought I share it with you.
A few people have expressed an interest in having it; but to make a business sense, I have to make a run of at least 10-15 sets at $700 ea.
Parts are all Alum CNC machined, cross bar is hollowed Al tubing. Weight ~1.2 lb.
Parts can be anodized (Black, Blue, Red) at an added cost.
Seat belts work as intended.
If there are interest out in the community, I'll build it.
