SFC's...?

[TYSHO]

Does anyone have a pic of SFC's installed? I haven't actually seen these things, but from what it seems, they are welded to the SF? So is it actually welded like that? I'd hate to do another clutch job if those are welded to the SF!

Hello! What I've been told is they stop right before the subframe and that you should definitely get some!!

 

[TYSHO]

So I'm guessing, they're welded under the floor board?

These look pretty easy to make, wonder why everyone wants a lot for them! Thanks for the link and reply w/pic. Looks like I'll have some made!

That photo looks like the frame is being pre-stressed...is that so?

How do you have access to replace the fuel filter? Maybe it's just the angle of the picture but it doesn't look like the filter would slip down through the opening. Just curious?

Looks like its been on there for awhile so he probalu just took a picture while it was on a lift to show them to others.

You defitnaly DO NOT want to weld them on while the wheels are hanging and the frame de-stressed with no weight on it.

Can you put some jack stands or wheel ramps under the wheels? If you dont have a lift this would be the only way i could see a DIY doing this job.

When mine were put on the wheels were hanging and the SFC was supported. Then the body was dropped a bit to put a slight bow in the SFC before they were welded in place.

I wouldn't recomend it. You want the chassis to be simetrical at install to insure proper alignment. Lift = only way to go. Even then measurements should be made to check for the squareness of the cars chassis before welding.

A bud of mine had them welded at a local shop with an alignment lift which raised the car by its wheels.

I had mine installed on a drive-on lift. Makes a huge improvement in the stiffness of the body. Highly recommended!

does anyone have that picture of its dimensions? it was white with a black background. It seems i went through all the threads from a while ago and the picture isnt there anymore, and the only thing i have it on is a papaer i printed out.

i want to email it to my friend, he can make me a set pretty easily i would think.

Exactly what I did when I welded mine on.
