    Yesterday i custom made some sub frame connectors for my maverick. I know they don't make sub frame connectors for our cars so if i was to make a few more sets would anyone be interested? I included a picture of what they look like bolted on my car

    They look pretty sweet. But you can also buy them aftermarket. I know of two options:

    Alston Race Cars #102419
    Chassis Engineering #C/E3645

    I made mine bolt on because they cross over emergency brake components

    Tims and mine are 1/2" off of the floorpan for that reason. this way it gets the E-brake cables up above the exhaust and driveshaft.

    Very smart.. yours are probably stronger than mine considering the fact that they are welded in.. but i had such an awful time removing welded in subframe connectors on my fathers fastback mustang i couldent bring myself to weld mine.. i want to install a drive shaft loop also
