Relocation bracket question

joeice14 · August 26th, 2008, 06:29 PM

Hey Guys,

Just recieved my Relocation Brackets from Richard at RADMUSTANGS.com and I was wondering if I had to get them welded. It says in the directions to weld them and I would really like to avoid doing so... I am not good at welding so I dont want to chance a shitty job on my car...
How hard of a job ar these relocation brackets???

thanks

-Joe

You do not have to but if you have access to a welder, do it. I welded mine for that extra comfort

tribaltek · August 26th, 2008, 06:33 PM

I'm going to have mine welded. I have the Steeda brackets.

joeice14 · August 26th, 2008, 06:35 PM

Hmm I really dont know... I guess I could try it without welding see if everything holds up then do it if I have too... Thanks for the input Mickey... Hows you LTS coming along???

If you're drag racing you should weld them.

What do you think is the worst that can happen it I am drag racing and I dont weld them...

usafimj · August 26th, 2008, 06:54 PM

I think I read somewhere on here that they'll get all bent up or something along those lines

Launching hard will bend them, BMR reccomends to weld them if your 60' is 1.6 or less

Mine arent welded.

Jucostud · August 26th, 2008, 08:28 PM

there is no point in not welding them... the cost is minimal if you can't do it yourself.

mustang fanatic · August 26th, 2008, 08:30 PM

Just try it. Sharpen your welding skills. Then come and weld mine!

Its better to be safe than sry

hmmm the worst thing??? hmmmm....let me think....

nice hard launch at 4500 (about 300ft lbs hitting the axle then there on...)

and they break....

it's not about helping, they are more for fixing. If you are lowered at all, they return you lca's to the proper angle which does help THAT much.

joeice14 · August 26th, 2008, 10:38 PM

I am just going to weld them with my neighbor that builds street legal Drag cars (kinda an oxymoron lol)...
If I just have to weld a seem I could just do it myself...

yes. lowered or not.

but lowered you will really feel them, even in everyday driveing.

and my brackets arent bent with 330rwtq and i would say quite a few launches. thats just an honest answer but hey do what you gotta do, you break em you bought em.

only person i heard of bending them was 05kb i think. and he is just a tad above our power level. by like, um, i think double.
