Somebody else makes sub frame connectors for our cars! Reply #2 – June 21, 2012, 06:08:28 AM If you guys are looking for full length SFC's, I can fab them up. It takes 10' of 1"x2"x.120" wall tube ($30-35), couple hours of cutting and welding to close up the ends along with side tabs if you want to bolt them on. Using 5' per side will run you from the rear LCA boxes up to the front almost where the frame rails curve up. Could do them for like $85 per pair plus shipping. Quote Selected

Could do them for like $85 per pair plus shipping.If you close up the ends like this (front) \=======\ (back) instead of (front) \=======/ (back), you can get a couple more inches of welding onto the rear subframe. Unlike on a Mustang, the rear frame rail dips down behind the torque box.Not sure how you're doing them, but that's how I did them when I made them (and when we were doing them at KB).Adding a crossbar under the seat supports really helps things out too.

I'm going to go back and revisit Rick's welds and add in some side plates. Quote Selected

Flip that closure over the other way (put the flat portion on the bottom, not the top) , and you can extend the tube back onto the rear subframe.Kind of a py pic, but... (And don't mind that I apparently forgot I had jacking rails on the car when I jacked it up :p) Quote Selected
