Looking for some help in choosing least visable Bolt On/Weld Subframe Connector. CE appears to hang low. Does anyone have a different opinion on the Alston or Global West versions ?? Photos would be GREAT !!!Thanks:)

making your own works best. you can fit it exactly how you want. i used 2" x 1" tube stock shaped liked a rectangle. welded them on and you dont even know they are there.

I put the CE connectors on my '71. They are well made and fit nice, but they do stick down a little. That is not a problem for me except that they prevent me dumping the exhaust just in front of the rear wheels which I think sort of looks cool.:cool:

I just picked up a set of 1BadNov's subframe connectors. Had some good Nova talk with the dude when he stopped by to drop them off. One knowledgable cool cat.

Don't even think twice - grab a set from him while he has 'em. A+ on the fabrication! Awesome welds. SOLID! We mocked them up on my subframe... perfect fit.

By the way Boltman... GO CHARGERS!!! :beer:

Just a note to thank everyone for the photos and input, I do appreciate it.. And as a side note to "Irie 63" I sure do hope the Chargers put on a better display this Sunday than I watched this past. "GO CHARGERS"!!! :beer::beer:

Where do you get BadNov's subframe connectors?
Web site?
Do they make it for 73 Nova?.

I see most people use a round tube or bar stock for the connectors , Is it because of clearance issues ?
I am trying to figure out which style is best as I am at my shop looking at all the material here to make a set. I have 2x2 ,1x3, 2x4 .125 and .250 wall rectangle tube . And every thing from 1"-4" bar and 1"-3" round tube stock .125 and .180 wall
