Pushed each relief cut out .0775" not to mention lengthening it by .125" and cut the real set out of 10 gauge

Afterward I bent and welded them up and now they're ready to go

I don't see why those won't work well.

That's bad ass. i envy skills like yours.

For sure; opted for something a little thicker too so they should last awhile

Build replacement frames at a reasonable cost, and you save many 3rd gens.

That's the problem, I don't doubt you can build them, the cost to mfg would b3 up there.

I'd gladly build parts to make up for those that often get cut out and replaced.

In fact, my favorite part of fabrication is making something from the ground up.

In case anyone stumbles upon this thread, want to add that I'd be happy with fabbing up some more.

Posted a thread on the other 4R forum about availability.

Can offer them in a completely flat, WIY version or offer them bent and welded.

Hey! just the guy I was looking for!

Recently found out that my passenger side upper control arm mount is cracked (seems like an epidemic).

If I got you a set of dimensions and a sketch could you fab one up? more than happy to pay.

I would be interested in the upper mounts also. I had the passenger side break off but just welded it back on. It's been holding since June but would be happy to have replacements sitting on the shelf.

Props to you my friend and to @eimkeith . I don't know if this is a recent edition to his products but I don't recall seeing these when I picked up his lower link mount reinforcement.

Guys, you can do what you wish. However, if those control arms brackets rust off or have holes in them. It's better to replace that steel than reinforce it. Well... It would be a lot more solid if replaced..
