NOTE: BMR heavy duty tunnel brace shown below is highly recommended to take full advantage of the subframe connectors. Re-install tunnel brace over the subframe connectors and thread the 10mm bolts back into place. As shown in Image 5, cut along the previous mark using a bandsaw, hacksaw, or cut-off wheel. Begin by measuring 2” from each end and marking the tunnel brace for cutting. If re-using the factory tunnel brace, it is necessary to modify the brace for re-installation. Repeat steps 5-6 for the other subframe connector.ĩ. Remove the (2) 10mm tunnel brace bolts that were installed in step 5 above.Ĩ. Once all bolts are inserted, tighten the ½” Allen bolts to 45 ft/lbs.ħ. NOTE: a screwdriver or tapered alignment tool may be used to line up the bolt holes.Ħ. Do not tighten any of the bolts until all six bolts are partially threaded in. Thread the 10mm bolts into the remaining holes. Insert (2) of the supplied ½” Allen bolts and washers into the rear-most bolt holes and (1) into the most forward bolt-hole. 2x2 construction contoured to fit floor, comes with 6 x 6 plates and outriggers.

Team Z Through the floor sub frame connectors for 1979-2004 Mustangs. Slide the larger front frame inserts into the front rails and position them over the existing frame holes as in Image 4 below.ĥ. The thru the floor subframe connectors stiffens chassis, provides a base foundation for roll cage installation, reduces chassis flex. It should fall rearward, then can be positioned over the existing holes as in Image 3.Ĥ. Team Z Through the floor sub frame connectors for 1979-2004 Mustangs. As shown in Image 2 below, slide the smaller insert up through the oblong frame hole and into the frame rail. The smaller of the two fits the rear frame rails and the larger fits the front rails. Locate the 2 sets of frame inserts provided with your BMR Subframe Connectors. Door and fender alignment is only relevant if you’re installing SFCs on an assembled car. Using a 15mm socket, remove the four bolts that secure the OE driveshaft tunnel brace and remove the brace. It is possible to use drive-on ramps as long as the full weight of the vehicle is resting on the wheels/tires and the suspension is fully loaded.Ģ. NOTE: It is recommended to perform this installation with the suspension loaded.

There's a reason many SFC manufacturers either recommend them or even include solid mounts with the SFCs as a package.I was thinking about this the other day and realized that a lot of people may be intimidated by the complexity of this installation when, in fact, it is probably one of the easiest and quickest mods you can do to your new Camaro. If you're going to weld them in, use solids. So not only have you given up some the the benefit of having subframe connectors, but you've induced stress on the underbody which could cause microcracks over time. And over time as that rubber ages, it'll add progressively more stress. If you only have rubber, that flex point in front is inducing a lot of stress on the subframe connector and back to the unibody where it attaches. With subframe connectors, you've now tied that subframe rigidly to the rear of the body.
As you go down the road vibration inputs come from the engine, trans, and the road surfaces (through the tires) exciting the two different masses at a different rates, but again it's not tied together rigidly. The body, rear suspension and everything weigh another ton or more. The subframe and everything attached to it probably weigh close to a half a ton. Essentially they can flex relative to each other as two separate parts on the mounts (were talking small movements). From the factory, the subframe and body are only attached by a few bolts.
