If you wanna keep the car from twisting put a cage in it. Again just my 2 cents. Others may have better ideas and different opinions.
I was thinking about tossing the 3 points and picking up a set of regular 2 point ones, prob the MWC ones.

No cage for this thing for a long time hopefully. But we shall see.

brainstorming !

Need some opinions before i waste my time with a trip to the fab shop. I was thinking maybe i can modify the X member to bolt up with the SFCs between the X member and the chassis. What i thought its what i drew with crayon in MS paint below,



Pretty much hack the passenger side of the X member off, and rebuild using some sort of flat plate. I remember my old DS loop being just flat steel, not tube. But then again, a DS loop really doesnt take any force. I would imagine a TQ Arm X member takes some serious stress.(even though the angles on this X member are just look like they were made by smushing) Do you fancy pants engineering folk think it will work?

DS loop in question.

I'd go with 2 point sfc's. You have a chance to sell what you have and reinvest into something that will work with what you got.

Ditch the 3pts and install un modified MWC stuff.

Or hell, if you are in the ruining mood, just chop the 3 pt SFC down to 2 pt ones.

I MAY be able to shave 1/2" or so off the driver SFC bolting plate and slide the X member by to make it work. Will check and advise after work.

Okay guys, picked up my trans dipstick tube last night so now i SHOULD have everything needed. Need to throw the dipstick tube in and throw the X pipe back on. Other than that stuff, can we compile a list of sorts of things i should check before car is placed back on ground for (hopefully) the final time?

Only things i can think of off top of my head are

-Exhaust clamps are tight
-O2 sensors are tight
-Trans cooler lines secured and out of way

Make sure all your suspension components are torqued down.
Tidy up any harnesses or lines that may get caught up on belts or armadillos.
Do a once over pass on driveshaft, trans crossmember and kmember bolts.
Make sure you've pulled the ice pick out of the rear seat belt holes.
Do you believe in heat shields?
Bumper and fender hardware are all on?
Have you painted your trans pan pink yet?

State of the fail adress

Ok so heres were we are at.

It has been a pretty hectic few weeks at the beggs household. 2, ill call them, family emergencies back to back rendered me very busy handling other things.

Last we left off, i had to ditch the 3 point SFCs due to not working with my torque arm. Pulled them off, try to install X member, and STILL contacts the exhaust. Right at the X cross over. So i pulled the exhaust back off, and had to do some reshaping. Clamped down the 4 ends of the X pipe to my bench and went at it with a lot of heat, a mallet, and after a few burns a pair of gloves. Was able to clearance the pipe. Barely had to form it really, it was just touching. Now there is about the thiccness of iphone clearance.

Today i wont have time due continuing handling newly acquired duties, but tmmr i should have time to throw the rest of the exhaust back together.

DS is finally in as well. Need one of my friends to come by to help bleed the brakes, and then i should be able to get it rollin.
