Probably your inde didn't want to spend the $110 for four pieces of metal that look like they should cost maybe $5 - $10 at the most! I had illusions of the reinforcing kit actually increasing the thickness of the existing tabs, but such is not the case. The metal just goes on the ends of what's there. The instructions do say they must be mig welded on. Now if Portland Import Auto Wreckers can just come through on the subframe I'll be set to start on the car...
Richard ,this internet thing shows how small this world really is.I have a freind in
Portland ,who uses MBI services ( Larry is the head mechanic) for his 6.3, he has several actually , and won't trust any one else.But I also have a freind living in Battleground who comes from Brisbane and is mad on drag racing...and he's raced my friend from Portland on occasion.You can't miss the guys in Battleground,they're MAD MAX fanatics.
