Default My homemade torque arm relocation bracket. What yal think

I figured Id give it a try. The material was free and it took about an hour and a half of my time. Ill put it on tonight. Too bad I wont really get to test it at the track till March. What yal think?? The one on the right is a UMI for an automatic. I used my factory cross member for an m6.

Can't beat free. I love seeing stuff like this.

I'd smooth it out a bit and paint it.

well I got to install the crossmember last night and it looks pretty good. I cant really tell cause its so tight but one of the ears may be touching the mount. Ill check it out tonight and adjust the torque arm.

I'm sure this is a really old post, but do you have any of the dimensions you used?looking to copy this just hoping for a few pointers if you dont mind.
