you will also need this adapter harness to support the extra voltage

ok here are the plans. crossmember came in today and i want ALL OF YOUR OPINIONS/TIPS.
as you can see in the first photo the spohn torque arm mount fits pretty tight up in the tunnel. plans are to buy a u channel like the original and use one side for the right leg of the mount and the other side to be where the actual torque arm bolts to. and cutting off the left side of the u channel making it basically a 90 degree angle iron. BUT! another brace shall be welded from the rear of the transmission crossmember to the piece holding the torque arm mount to add support. the right side of the u channel gets welded to the trans crossmember and the flat part of the u channel gets welded to the flat part of the crossmember. more than likely im going to weld a complete plate on the side where im cutting the leg off the u channel to make it a solid connection between the crossmember and the u channel. its hard to explain exactly whats its going to look like but im confident it should hold AND give awesome exhaust clearance.

if you can take notch the bottom of the spohn bracket to accept some tubing, you could get away with making a tubular crossmember if you have access to a bender. a tree works if you have a long piece of pipe(no joke) i really wanted to do mine this way. 2 pieces of 1 5/8 or 1 3/4 tacked to the body with a plate on each end. basically like a subframe connector, just run the opposite direction on the car. much stronger than angle. angle is going to deflect unless its thick, and its going to get heavy. then again, the spohn bracket weighs as much as texas, so anything you do is bound to be lighter.
think BMR track pak. it has a similar crossbrace design.
