[QUOTE="rattle_snake, post: 11039781, member: 126699"] Just in case someone uses the search tool for subframe connector installation info, I will list a few tips that I think are useful that were not in the MM FLSFC instructions or on the net; -Check ALL the door gaps BEFORE lifting the car if using jack stands. After supporting the car 'properly' open and close the doors to make sure everything is the same. -Disconnect the battery. all of the welding current should go back to the welder but having all active circuitry un-biased/off can't hurt. move the driver seat all the way forward before disconnecting the battery to access the rear seat bolts. -Wear f'in safety glasses when grinding..... -Make sure everything fits right before welding. plan in grinding, bending and ob-longing holes to get suitable fitment. don't use clamps or jacks to get things to fit on the car. The connector should fit properly by itself. -It is not necessary but recommended to pull the exhaust off (at least from the cats back) for the best welds especially to get the rear inboard vertical subframe welded to the FLSFC. -The MM instructions say to jack up the connector or press down on the floor pan and tack the seat brace first. on the right side of my car, jacking it up to fit prevented the door from closing, the window drug on the roof pillar. Check the doors as you go. grinding an 1/8" off the seat brace allowed it to fit properly and the door to remain in it's original location. -Make sure you do no run out of Beer or MIG wire. -don't forget to turn on the gas. no amount of cussing or adjusting feed speed will get the machine to weld.
