Kafer cup brace

[Sandeep]

Don't forget that you have to cut the body slightly ('74 standard) if you are installing it (CSP 3-bar brace) with the body on. With a dremel, you can make the cuts look factory.

Also, make sure you have your axles in and the suspension loaded before you weld the links for the down tube from the shock tower to the frame horns.

You can weld in the frame horn link a couple of different ways but I decided to weld my link to the transmission carrier at the rear of the tranny that bolts to the frame horns. This will give me enough room for the suspension to compress while driving and have the axle not rub on the downtube.

Sandeep,

You said that you tied your frame horn links to the trans carrier. Do you have pictures of that? Did you fab your own carrier or are you using a stock piece? Are there any clearance problems to watch out for?

I would like to fab my own carrier and intigrate the mounts for the brace.

That's why you shouldn't post when your tired!

I found a nice heavy duty trans mount plate at CSP(California) for $29. I ordered it along with some Berg HD rubber front and rear mouns.

Project 69 i will also be doing a 5 bar kafer cup rear setup soon as my brace comes in from miami. I also want to use the heavy duty tranny support as an anchoring point for the bar instead of the frame horn. I thing there should be a picture here to help us with the process.

this is mine welded up.
Not too sure about the heater boxes clearance. I measured the wifes super (with heaterboxes) and tried to set it up accordingly. I am just going to be running an A1 Sidewinder anyways but it doesn't hurt to have the space.

Just got my CSP 3 bar's in. Could someone explain preloading to me? Of course it's not in their directions but I'd like to get them installed in a weekend or two.

thank you, sparks.
