I’ve been researching SFC’s for a bit now and have narrowed it down to Alston and/or Spohn. I like them both and will probably end up getting both but...

I read a post somewhere about somebody bending the passenger side “Y” connector on the Spohn’s to get a better weld on the frame rail portion of the SFC .

Has anybody ever thought about or mentioned welding a small piece of whatever to the “Y” connector for a more solid connection to the frame rail part SFC?

Kind of like this…

 

cant see why you couldnt make a little shelf like that. although im not sure its needed. im actually quite shocked that my friends weld is still holdin that dinky piece on there! its better than it looks!!

 

Lots of people have made simple decisions in helping out the spohn SFC's. A for instance, the guy who did my SFCs (spohns) originally intended to reinforce BOTH of the smaller support bars. I have also heard of people getting smaller diameter bolts and placing them tucked into the SFC against the underside of the car and welding those in too - like this _Oo_

Not much room to really mess anything up - I would say go for it couldn't hurt, likely help.
