Frame connectors

Close...very close to what I'm doing.

I use 1x3, 1/8" wall tubing. I overlap the sides and bottom of the rear frame rail. Make sure you put holes in to allow the parking brake cable guide to bolt in on the right side! The front is bench welded to 1.5" angle stock, to attach to the tranny crossmember. It will add alot of stiffness.

Now; The body will twist under launch, along the axis of added frame connectors. Frame connectors do not add as much as you would think in this plane. the flex reduced is along the axis of the car, up and down in the middle of the body. The best way to confirm this is the "lift" test. If a car door opens and closes on the ground, but then won't when on the lift, the car is flexing. Frame connectors will fix this flex direction.

Picts to follow....
