    1973 Comet.

    Who makes bolt in subframe connectors that will fit?

    Can I get a set to fit another car like a mustang or something?

    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the forum.

    I am not aware of any bolt in connectors for a Maverick/Comet, several weld in options though.

    Oops, CE part number C3140 for 1st gen Mustangs. The Mustang frame rails are a little wider than a Mav's so I had to put shims between the subframe rails and the connector U-channels.

    Same here - the early Mustang ones. I modified them and ended up welding them - but they will fit as a bolt on with the shims as mentioned.
