Strut bar

Hi all,
After procrastinating for quite a while, I took the plunge and ordered the Racing Beat triangulating strut bar.
Having received the shiny new bar, I realize I should have asked if it is compatible with the Ground Control caster camber plates on the (79 Limited, 13B motor, autocross only), car.
Included with the bar, are some neato aluminum mounting brackets. These are a major cause of my concerns, as they are several inches high.
Other than a buddie's car which is an older, very different style, I haven't seen other bars.
Anyone have experience with this setup? I'd like to have some assurance that it will work prior to digging into the project.
I appreciate the input.

After calling Racing Beat, I was passed around a few people. "We don't sell many of those anymore, so we don't know". Then they told me it won't fit. I went to the local Ace hardware and bought a longer bolt. I think it will fit just fine. Now have to make time to put it on.
Thanks for the input.

Yes, it does fit. With a minimum of modification with a hand grinding wheel. It fits. I won't be able to try it out for a few more months. It can be done.
