Guys,
Where can I find 3rd gen pan hard relocation brackets for sale. I'm having a 8,8 ford reagent built for my 85 camaro and wanted to add them. Thanks |

The upper PH brace is a U shaped stamping with solid steel sleeve on one end and a flat flange with 3 bolts on the other. Make sure all the fasteners are tight and the holes have not been ovaled. The 3 bolts have washers with sharp edges that dig into and lock the brace in place. The sleeve end has bumps that are tight to the the bolt. If this brace moves around then the frame mount gets flexed and can crack right off the car. The brace itself can be boxed with a flat plate to make it more rigid.
To lower the PH I use the Unbalanced Engineering PH drop brackets, I use the UMI brackets for the LCA relocation. The UE PH drop brackets can be used with the stock PH but it is best to replace it with a rod end/rod end PH. This post has been edited by Blainefab: Feb 10 2014, 12:44 AM |

The company building ford 8.8 will build tubes to 4th gen length and reweld all brackets to mount back up to 3rd gen. UMI sells both LCA and pan hard bar relocation bracket? What's UMI stand for so I can order them. Thanks guys. Check out Lindsey's ring and pinion, Pickens South Carolina. Shop is down the street from Hawks 3rd gen. They rebuilt my T56 for a fair price and was well done. |
