Frame Connectors - Page 2

I have the round BMR connectors on my '96. They tuck up share you can't see them from the side. Not nearly as ugly as the rectangle tubing stuff.
Not real sure why you wouldn't want them welded in. These are never going to be collector cars. As common as belly buttons.

I run Global West frame connectors on my 68. I didnt want to cut the floor, nor ruin the subframe.
I have run as fast as 10.92 @ 123 last season.

You will have to weld to the rear frame rails, but these can easily be removed if you wanted to later.

I don't know if this will help. But in our old E body Mopar. We put a piece of tubing in the sill (under the door). And welded in to the floor in a couple of places.
We were not allowed frame connectors at the time.

I like to install the 2x3 into the sub this way:
Pie cut the 2" side a little at the bottoms and close it up a little in a vise ; Cut notches in the 3" sides ,to access the body bolt. Then drive the 2x3 into the sub with a b.f.h. ,and then weld it anywhere you can...Makes for a stronger joint...in my opinion.
