Default Subframe Connectors

Okay, so I've been looking at subframe connectors for the fox body. And most of the ones I see are just straight pieces of square tubing. So instead of paying 100+, can I just go buy 30 bucks worth of square tubing and weld my subframes together? Also, I might have only seen pics of the shorter ones, where exactly do full length SFC's connect on our foxes? If anyone has pics of short vs. full that would be great.

Blue Oval Industries. They are on Ebay. Inexpensive, but will do the job.

The seat brackets are not to keep you from falling thru the floor. They do help spread the force to the torque over a wider area.
