I'm sorry I didn't copy everyone else's setup. If you need a preacher to tell you what mods to put on your car, the Reverend Veilside180sx might have a suggestion.
User can set the page size to be longer than the default, so saying it's at the bottom of page 2 isn't going to work for everyone. I'm set to 40 posts per page.
there is a lot of info. on the forum about what there for and what they help improve. but basicaly they help stiffen the front end of the car which will help imrprove handling
What is the front bolted to? That section of the frame is boxed in, so I don't think you could get a nut on the other side to bolt these down. Did you use Nutserts?

I'm not dissing your effort here. I just want to make sure we get the best possible product. I think you'll also need to add a third tube to triangulate the prototypes in the pics you posted.
[QUOTE=SE-R_Dan;1866496]What do they screw into? I don't think sheetmetal screws through the frame rail would provide much chassis stiffening. You should look into Nutserts.

well you dont have to buy them if you dont trust my idea, this is the best resort to using nutserts. the reasoning for going with screws is because with a screw you have a smaller whole and they are going into the core where it is overlapped so you will have plenty of strength

Awww.... Don't be like that. If you can't take a little feedback and a few new ideas then you're on the wrong forum. I hope you make an awesome product and sell a ton of 'em.
I just wanted to throw my concern out there that screws might not be the best option. If I wanted to use Nutserts or even weld these bars to the frame for that matter, I don't think you'd need to change your design. It should work either way.
yes understand what you all are saying, but if you guys could purchase those nutserts and put them in.......the brackets are already predrilled so all you would have to do is mark the whole, drill, install the nutsert
I know its a bit of extra work, But couldn't you cut out a small piece of metal where the top mount will sit, And weld a new stronger bit in place with a captive nut attached.
That or drill a hole right though the metal both side's and weld a bolt tube in, Now that would be very strong and very easy to do.
there are quite a few things that you can do in order to mount the front part of the brace, i just chose to send screws out with them becasue i dont thikn that everyone on her has access to a welder or has fabrication skills to weld a nut in.......
I am also ready to send money, but first want to get a resolution for the front mount. Sheet metal screws aren't going to be the answer, and I really only want to pull my fenders once. Anyone have a lead on the nutserts?
