I received a question from SF-SVT and I felt it would be beneficial to post it here along with Rick�s reply.
"I'm just curious about this sub-frame. I have a 1998.5 SVT and I have tried many times to reinforce the brackets; does your sub-frame address the issue of different sized fuel tanks for different production years? If I recall correctly, on the 1998.5 and earlier cars there was a fitment issue with the driver-side mount because the fuel tank was very, very close to the stock 'hook' bracket and the weld-on plate won't fit unless the end is filed down almost to the mounting hole. I might be interested in this group buy if the sub-frame addresses this issue.
Thanks, SF-SVT"
"The very first one we installed was on an early model and the fuel tank was very close to the sway bar brackets, so I understand your concern. When we build these we hold to the factory sway bar mounting dimensions and I think in the picture you can see that both the outside corners are cut at an angle to provide as much clearance as possible. I believe that the modified sub-frame should clear without issues. That being said, with production tolerances as they are, I can see where there may be some minor modification required in some instances. I also believe there is some room for the sub-frame to move forward and back when bolted in place.
