    Thanks!

    i was having an exhaust system installed and asked the Guy about installing a set of frame connectors if i got them. he said he would make and install me a set for $75.
    Deal...he made them from...roll bar tubing...

    Ok they might be bad but I took a few. They line up perfectly... I'll tell you the story of the idiot who cut the brackets off and had to put em' back on later :mad: When I bought them and held them up to the bottom of the car they were perfect. The moron who tried to weld them in tried to install them backwards and literally told me "these are NOT for this car!" I went under the car picked up the undamaged one, REVERSED IT! and it fit perfectly. The idiot was fired not long after that. Keep in mind these were slightly mangled (Sub frame brackets) after the moron got a hold of them.... And please excuse the Exxon Valdez size rear main seal leak my car has :sorry: Fixing next week...


    Moral of the story... I should LEARN TO WELD!

    I have bars made by Dan Starnes about 10yrs ago. Still going strong. Don't know if he makes them any more. Thanks, Dan!

    so you cut off the squared C ends ... and placed that end forward

    and the turned up end goes to the rear ...

    correct?

    (at least that's what the first picture attached pic looks like when you blow it up)
