FE Technical Forum / Re: Subframe connectors

I was once talking to the owner of RRS about subframe connectors.  RRS is also an Australian company that makes Ford suspension parts.  He was telling me that they tested just about every frame connector they could get their hands on and more or less said they're not worth the weight they add to the car, which isn't much.  He had a setup where he would jack up a corner of the car and measure the flex/twist with dial indicators along the chassis.

I’ve got a Milwaukee that I bought used , kinda smaller one, used it a few times and no complaints at all.    I’ve bought a vevor off of amazon to use as a sacrificial one for more abusive jobs but I haven’t used it yet.  The vevor was recommended by others on another web site as to be decent.   It was under $200.  They can be an amazing tool when space allows it to be used

I haven't jumped into my '66 Fairlane project very far yet, but I have been kicking around ideas in my head. I saw an Australian company who makes these:
https://www.ssdperformance.com.au/products/display/23-chassis-connectors-for-hk-t-g-sedan%2C-ute%2C-wagon-and-monaro--

I was thinking about templating a set and seeing how they might work out. Our sheetmetal shop at work has a laser cutter and they could easily make these.

The only problem on a Fairlane or Comet is the back seat foot space that would interrupt the subframe connector. I need to see how I'd deal with that.

I am considering installing subframe connectors on my 1966 Cyclone. Am I correct in assuming they are the same as for 1966 Fairlane? I am looking at weld on, not through the floor, connectors. What are some of you using that you like, fit well, and work? Thanks, Chuck (S)

Last two pictures of the dirty fingers holding the bearings is the different tang placement between the 351 Cleveland bearings and the standard FE bearings. I’m going to try to land the tang relief to catch both. The Cleveland race bearing seems to be a bit narrower than the standard FE main bearing. These are both King brand bearings BTW.

Anyone have a dipstick and tube for 67-69 390/428 in Fairlane or Mustang that you want to sell. All parts houses are out of stock because Scott Drake/Holley stopped making them. Thanks, Chuck
