Title: Tbird/Cougar SFC Crossbraces
Post by: Chuck W on March 04, 2008, 06:05:18 PM
Ok, as discussed in this thread HERE (http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=18357) I am offering preformed SFC crossbraces that can be added to your main tubes to improve the strength and rigidity of the SFC installation in your 83-88 Tbird or Cougar.

You will get 1 driver and 1 pass side crossbrace. 

Pricing is $23/shipped in the US.

I can ship to Canada, but you are looking at $7-12 more in shipping (1st Class-Priority).

To order, you need to send me an email (cwarren@indy.net) with your shipping info.

Payments can be by Paypal (the above email) or MO (will reply with address if you need it).

I will hold off on ordering for about a week just to get a better idea of how many I actually need to order.

Forgot to mention that I almost did not get these. The knucklehead mailman in my area delivered it to the wrong house. Right house number, wrong street! Luckily, the person that got it was nice enough to drive over and deliver it to me. The package was addressed correctly, my mailman is just a moron.
I told him about his mistake when I saw him the next day, and his response was "oh well, that happens sometimes". No "sorry", "oops", "my bad"... just "oh well".

This might sound like a dumb question but im going to ask anyway. I see subframe connector braces. Where can I get subframe connectors and usually what is a good price for them. I did a search on here but maybe I didnt look good enough. Any help would be appreciated.
Title: Tbird/Cougar SFC Crossbraces
Post by: Chuck W on April 18, 2008, 09:15:39 PM
Well the point of these is to use them to make your own.

For TBirds/Cougars, all you need is a straight piece of steel at least 5' long and you have SFC's.  These just are that added bonus to complete the package. 

You should be able to source main tube material locally.
Title: Tbird/Cougar SFC Crossbraces
Post by: daminc on April 18, 2008, 09:22:09 PM
I think you can use mustang SFCs and hack the seat braces off and use Chuck's in there place.
I got 10' 2x2 1/8 inch wall tubing for about $50
