So I was wondering, what exactly is it besides the slightly different mounting locations that make the hardtop 3pts incompatible with the verts? I can get a pair of vert 2pt sfcs real pretty cheap and I was thinking about just making the third point and tieing it together with tubing. I was just wondering if there is anything in the way that is not there on the hard tops.

There are supports built into the floor pan that won't clear the hardtop 3 points. I have the UMI convertible ones and was thinking the same thing. Get some 1 inch square stainless tubing and make my own . It wouldn't look pretty but may be worth it. It would be alot of cutting and welding to get around the floor supports . Not sure if that would take away from the strength

Alright guys!!! I just got off the phone with my boy and we AGAIN discussed him making these, but like I said, he does not have the ability to R&D them from scratch... IF someone has a set that he can copy from then he could start looking into cost and production. He has all the **** needed to do this - laser cutter, water just, plasma cutter, all that crap, but just no way to R&D it.

Who is giving out infractions, and why, to some that are discussing the Kenny Brown SFC!!?? I'm sure it's someone with a coup that has 20 different types of SFC at their finger tips for purchase

There are no sponsors here selling anything on the lines of Kenny Browns DD SFC so why all the hate with infractions and deletions of posts!!!???

agreed. If I could get my hands on one, I could take very detailed measurements for fabrication.

Default Weld-in vs. Bolt-in

Is there a problem with using the UMI SFC's? It has to be better than no SFC's.

There are two types: Weld-in and Bolt-in.

installed my BMR SFC for vert 3 months a go (weld in). the difference is HUGE!!

I love mine, i know it's not Kenny's DD, but originally f-bod vert handles like ****, I think with the addition of STB and SFC they handle really well.

Now i have my bilstein shocks and strano springs installed. well, it handles like a champ!!

Thanks for the input. I will get the UMI weld-ins. Is the UMI chrome moly STB worth the extra $35 over the cheaper UMI STB? The previous owner of my 98 black vert suggested a traction bar. Any suggestions on a traction bar?

Unreal! I can't believe that not one sponsor or manufacture has bothered to respond to this! Shows us how much they care about the vert owners!

Like I said, I talked to Kenny Brown about my buddy making these and he said that as long as I don't mass produce them that it would be cool. I'm gonna call Monday to see if I can get the build specs for the DD.
