I think you just need some simple 1.5 inch- 2 inch square steel tubing my MM full length connectors are I'd say prolly at least 4 feet long. and they are bent to contour the floorpan

I dont remember exactly how long they are, I am just about 6 feet tall, and they come up to at least my nose if I remember correctly, so I am wrong, maybe 5-5 1/2 feet long.

no clue on dimensions but just an opinion.

do them like the HPM's where have the "t" bracing that bolts to the seats

that way you can reinforce the floor pans where they like to tear

exact length is from torque boxes in the back to frame rail up front. Bend the SF to contour the car frame and weld as much as u can. Also a "T" piece to go to the front seat tracks. I also did another "T" to connect it to the front of my 4pt cage. Now when I jack up the front R side the back R side comes up too. not 10'' later. :O
