SWells, do you have any pics of where they mount? I'm gonna pull my car in over the pit and take a better look tomorrow, I'm just not sure where they should connect front and rear. I guess if I'd look I could tell though.

Thanks mystery bird.

Not any good ones, maybe this will help. The bottom of the page is the rear mount, the "U" go around the outside of the lower rear control arm mount brackets. On the driver's side the fuel lines run towards the front of the sfc, so I ended up being less generous with creating places to weld it on and just tied it to the existing metal. on the passenger side I added the big plate to give me lotsa areas to run the welding bead. It is also welded along the main beam. I welded the crossover to the cross brace mount under the car. I connected front, rear and everything in between where I could.

Thanks, I was looking under my car today and it all became clear. What I'm gonna do is make my mounting points, tack them to the car and then measure and cut my square tubing. Cut said tacks and burn metal. I was wondering about the fuel lines also, and may get creative or do what you did.

I cut my main tubes first (wanted max length) then used cardboard to work out the end mounting points, kinda knew what I wanted before I started. Either way will work. I've since done the fuel line relocation, so now I could make a more significant front driver side end mount. I haven't bothered, doubt it would make any difference. Mine are up tight enough that I was able to weld them down the side too.

Here's a link to the fuel line relocation, if you are gonna do it anyways, do it first.
