It's a round bore.

Few key features we have:

Bungs are rosette welded in place not just welded around the tube.
Center support section captures the bungs as added bung support for added strength.
Transmission side is a double tube design for extra strength on the front side.
Double tube also captures the bung area for added strength.
Transmission side uses a 5/8" grade 8 bolt that threads past the double tube mount for a solid front mount. (not just one piece of 1.25" tube taking all the load.)

Looks awesome!

When do you estimate these will be available for purchase?

The bolt into the factory location so any aftermarket relocation kit should work with our torque arm.

We are hoping to have them shipping in 3-4 weeks. We have made all of our weld bungs and now just waiting for our laser cutting to get completed.

Awesome. I'm still rocking my stock arm for the time being (budget is squeezed to its max now) but I'll probably pick one of these up down the road. I've been very happy with the other Founders stuff I have on my car already.

I'll buy it when the whole package is ready.

Is there an ETA on the TA relocation crossmember?

Is this still looking like a realistic timeframe?

I'm in no rush for one as the stock part is doing fine for me right now. Eventually I'll upgrade and when I do I'm sure the Founders unit will be ready.
