i'm having the same issue. bought mine last year, just starting install, but the design is retarded. i'm going to use those by my rockers and connect them. aslo just going to make my own subframe connectors

 

OK I am being lazy here but it is late and I only got 4 hours of sleep last night. If you check out the links below you can see some pictures of the SFC I made and how they were installed. Be sure when welding them in the weight of the car is on it's wheels. Otherwise you can weld in a twist to the car and it will be really messed up!

I made my own SFC's because I did some custom work and there are not any SFC that would fit my application.

When I made mine I used tubing that was 1 3/4" DOM. The wall thickness is .134 The mounting plates on the front are 7ga (3/16") mild steel and the rear mount is attached with a two part mount system. The first part was welded in prior to the SFC and is a U shape part that was welded in 360 degrees and form fitted in there. It was about 7" long. Then the rear of the SFC slid up in there and was welded along the sides and bottom. (hard to explain but worked out great and made for a perfect fit!)

I have a air/hyd mandrel bender. So you can do it different but this was how mine were made.

See attached links for pictures and fabrication of the SFC's
