Well after several months, $ and patience they are done. Brad has a set - hopefully he will post some better pics of the layout. Please see http://engmanparts.com for details

These are 16g BTW. Today I performed some measurements on stiffness - Car is supported on 4 jackstands at the ends of the rear of each long. Long kit (old one witout the top pieces is installed on the drivers side only) Remove the drivers side jackstand and place wife on passenger rear corner (I will not say what she weights but this is done to keep the car in the rear on the jackstands). Me sits on the drivers side corner above the wheel ( I wieght too much - about 220) measure the amount of movement. Repeat for passenger side.
Results Passenger side deflection - 1/4" Drivers side deflection - 1/8" Now this is not real scientific- my son read the deflection - even accounting for possible errors this is at least a 1/16" improvement. The passenger long above the battery has been repaired - cut out and welded new metal in so I do not think that that was an impact. And the rear connection piece had not been installed. Hope this helps. M |
