rob90gt · 01-08-2002, 10:43 PM

Is this something that anyone who can weld install? I know a guy who does really good welding and he said he can do it. He's never done any welding on cars before but I think I'll let him try. Also I have a roll bar in my car that the previous owner installed do I just weld it to the connector? Also should I get the ones with the seat support. Does anyone have any tips on this like should we remve carpet etc. thanks

When installing the subframe connectors be sure the weight of the car is fully supported by the wheels. Not up on jackstands or a frame lift. If it is not on the wheels any flex in the chassis will become permanent once you weld the connectors in place.
