Our 1982-1992 F-Body subframe connectors are fabricated from 1-1/2” x 2-1/2” x .083” wall steel tubing and increase the car’s stiffness by connecting front and rear torque box structures. They also function as a side jacking rail. The connectors do not hang lower than the rocker pinch flange so ground clearance is unaffected. They provide a nice mounting structure for roll cage installations as well. Laser cut brackets are included to attach the front and rear of the connector tubes to the torque box structures. Includes new seat belt brackets that are stronger than stock and provide mounting points for the stock belt system or a race style lap belt
Had to notch the subframe conectors so they would clear the floor pans.
Both the subframe & chassis conectors were from Total Control Products.
However, its position inside the subframe continued to cause problems. After getting the nut on the far side 90% off with the ratchet, the bolt had moved out to such an extent that the back of the ratchet was now trapped against the inside of the subframe in such a position that I couldn't loosen the bolt anymore, nor could I pull the ratchet off the head of the bolt. Even more annoyingly, the tighten/loosen selector lever on the ratchet ended up pressed between the tips of those two bolts, meaning I could only turn the ratchet a single click without hitting them and changing the ratchet's direction. After a minute of single clicking the bolt back in I was able to get enough clearance to remove the ratchet and slap an extension on to get the bolt out the rest of the way.
