Default JUN-TW front strut bar?

Anyone know if they still sell JUN-TW front strut bar. The reason why I want this is because this bar you don't have to cut out the engine covers for it to fit. Pictures here.

The JUN-TW still touches the edges and slightly bends the cover downward. When I painted my cover I put the strut bar back on and the next time I serviced the car, I found damage to the covers paint where the bar meets the cover due to heat. I ended up using a dremel and I made a larger hole on the bar mount where the pin goes through to reduce contact. This is the only picture I can find at the moment but I drilled the bracket on the right. My other option would have been to put a soft felt/insulation strip on the points of contact to reduce damage to the cover.
