Re: Subframe Connectors

CE connectors are 2"x2"x0.082", if that helps as well.

Re: Subframe Connectors

Here is a pic. of the subframe connectors I made. I used 2" channel that was 1" tall. I used 3/16 or 1/4 plate in the back to go between the pinch weld and the control arm mount. The drivers side can be straight, but I made the passenger side match the contour of the floor. I used the channel because it is the same height as the pinch weld and doesn't hang down. They cost me $50 in steel and one night to fab up.

FueledSoul, those look badass! They're like the UMI and Alston's in one.

Thanks, not really they just flow the bends and curves of the floor pans.
