Subframe Connectors?

Does anyone have the dimensions or a DIY for subframe connectors. A local metalworking shop has a working relationship with me, and for all the business I have brought them they are offering to do a few things for me in return, so I wanted them to make some subframes for me. 95 F-Body. Thanks in advance.

I have SLP bolt ons on back order. They expect to ship mid-March. When I received them would you want me to measure them out for you?

Thumbs up

Will do then.

As I stated, they are on back order and I'm hoping to have them late March. Will send you a diagram and measurements when I get them.

I really appreciate all the help guys. This board seems to be a lot more informative and helpful than a lot of other car boards I have been a member of. Also, does it make any major difference whether or not it is a convertible, t-tops, or hardtop? Because I am working out a deal for a rolling chassis convertible and a t-top at the same time, and want to do subframes for both...my friend has a hardtop, and he will be going to the same place that I am.

Convertible is definately different. The only reason
I can see for building a convertible is if the CFO
would not let you buy a hard top.

I never said I was building a racecar. Just because someone likes performance doesn't mean they always have to sacrifice style. Besides, I am building up two completely seperate vehicles. One Convertible, one T-Top
