I’m planning Vince bar on mine , going with the rivet epoxy option with rivet/epoxy plates also provided it’s not badly cracked .. Not going with extensive welding option for me unless it’s pretty bad etc the heat weakens a lot of the metal .
@@abr5819 It does but in my opinion, not as bad as people think. The main welding points are thick and do handle the heat better then the thinner metal. I’ll be installing a pull epoxy Vince plates and Vince bar soon. I’ll be posting it up on my channel when it done.
TEK Motorsports make sure you do the rivets too though , I don’t see epoxy on its own as ‘solid’ and the rivets just give that metal on metal type security it’s not too much more work . I’d go welding possibly but it’s gonna stay as a road car/club sport spec and with the rivets you don’t have to be an expert welder if you diy . Will keep wn eye out for the vid I’ve seen a few on here already seems not to hard id recommend extra time removing under sealer to have a good look at the full picture to the edges underneath also will hopefully be doing rusty aches at same time , csl style flat rear wheel arch so no wet mud gets trapped in future 👍🏻

helpful_ Thank you .

Vincebar in the plans?
Yes, I’ll be installing a Vince Bar as well. It’s a great and clean addition to maximize subframe strength.

@@abr5819 Oh yes, rivets will be used. Epoxy alone will not be sufficient enough.
