Has anyone evernoticed results from a set of bolt-in subframe connectors?

Its best to weld them in the bolts could come loose over time or over tighten it could crush your frame rail.

There are a lot of forces at work on the subframe connectors. I would not trust bolt ones. For what it is worth, I really like my TCP subframe connection system.

Here is what I have done. I bought mine from Heidt's. And yes I will be welding in the two
subframe connectors, but not the frame stiffener.

I put a set on from Maier racing. They were boxed around the framerails and welded in four locations. They tuck real nice along the outside and cant really be seen from the side. I am pleased with the removal of the gaps in my doors after aligning.

i just welded one side in on my 66 the other day. got em from tinman fabrictations (or soemethin or other). they follow the countour of the floor so they fit PERFECTLY. but imo theres not much to weld on the front section that slides into the original subframe so i bolted AND welded mine in.
