Just get some rectangular tubing and make them. If you want the car tied together even better, instead of just hanging them under the floor pan, cut a notch in the floor and let the ties protrude about 1" above the floorboard, then weld them to the floor, too. Also helps to run a brace the same size as the frame ties over to the point on the floor where the rollbar will weld in. Weld this brace with a plate on it to the inside of the rocker. As for size on the tubing, 2X2 or 1 1/2 X 3 inches works well, doesn't have to be a real thick wall, 11 ga. would do fine.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I agree this is the best way.Last edited by techinspector1; 06-07-2007 at 11:15 PM.

Chris Alston sells them. If you go to h-body.org and check out the forums, you will see some other designs also.

It's amazing how much rigidity subframe connectors add to a car. When we did the Capri, we could jack up one corner of the car, and the entire front or rear would raise up. Before that, it would just twist like a pretzel.
