Anyone know the metal spec for the underside of the car? Just looking for the right MIG wire for my welder. Thanks!

Overall i'm happy with the connectors so far, i will hav ethem up for test-fit this saturday so i can report on that then. My box was thrashed and broken open on both ends, fortunatly theses aren't exactly fragile.

I do have one question, did you chamfer the mating edges prior to welding like was discussed?

yes

Got mine last night!

Thanks,
Rick

So what are the final Do's and Dont's of installing these? All I know of right now is to make sure the car is on a level, drive on lift. I just want to make sure I dont get these welded on and tweak something. Anyway. . . .

I actually got mine this past monday night.

Here is a pic of the box:


Here they are opened:



Already showing a bit of rust..



I sprayed them with this stuff immediately after cleaning them. I tried to get inside as well.



Here they are painted and drying. This stuff actually starts out clear and turns the rust black. Hopefully it works for the lifetime of these things.



I am most concerned about rust on these things. Esp. rusting from inside out. I live in the south where there's not a lot of salt BUT there is A LOT of humidity. (Battery terminals beware)

Anyways, its all fun. I can't wait to get them installed for "Offroading" use. Haha.

Thanks again Steve and thanks in advance for soon sending us an email with instructions for our welder.

Got mine in today. looks good. i wanna get them painted, ill probably use hi-temp engine paint cause its cheap.

Steve, got the how-to and locations for getting them installed?
