Custom Subframe Connecotr help

What are the dimensions on y'alls subframe connectors? I need some pics of any SUBFRAME CONNECTORS on a car. I am going to do my own hopefully this weekend. Also...is there anything I should plan ahead for? I am doing a 9 inch rear swap in a few months, welding in a driveshaft loop, stuff like that? Need the L X W X H of the subframes..

jack your car up get under it and measure, it isn't hard and if you're smart enough to make a set you can handle getting the measurements. just go from point a to point b, it isn't hard to do.

you will most likely want to use 2"x3"x.120 wall rect tubing. and like the other people are saying, you will also want to measure your own car. there are also two spots where you can mount sfc's. out next to your rockers(which doesnt usually interfere with exhaust, or floorpans, but isnt all that strong). or more under the seats(which interferes with floorpans, exhaust, but is really strong because it actually ties front and rear subframes together). your choice. have fun

Post a pic

I don't know exactly where they mount is the problem so if anyone would help that would be great. The reason I was asking for dimensions is how thick they are. Not neccesarily the length or width..
