subframe connectors

I got mine from summit racing. They were $89....bolt in. Those things are so TIGHT around the front frame rail and in the rear. I would get the bolt in ones...bolt them in, and then weld them on top of that.

I have the Completion Engineering Bolt-ins that I bolted and welded in. They fit tight up against the floor pan so there are no clearance problems.

I like these, pricy but if I don’t build my own this is what I am going to use.

Are the Maier racing connectors bolt on or weld in? I looked at those and they have what look like the bolting holes.

Short answer YES.
They can be bolted on but you could just weld then or do both. I was planning on that rough. Use the bolts to locate and hold them in place while I welded and if for some reason the weld broke the bolts would hold them in place until I had a chance to fix then. I do like the shape of these and the fact they mount to multiple locations. I believe this makes them much better that the TCP and others that just mount at one point on each end. The only benefit to the TCP is the X cage and I am still undecided on that. But that looks like something easy to fabricate later if I wont to add it.

Any through the floor connectors here? Or pics of home built?

I believe I purchased my TCP sub+xcage from Mustangs Unlimited. This was also a few years ago when TCP was going strong. Your best bet is to bolt them in to line it up right and weld it in. You must weld the subframe in while the car is on all four wheels too. You will need to get a custom bent exhaust which goes into the drive shaft hump. With my long tubes I was unable to squeeze an H pipe easily but I also have a C6. Hopefully your exhaust shop can get creative with it for some sort of equalizer... possibly an x pipe.

I second this great fit and can't beat the price!
