fox coupe

[Jrcmutang]

does anyone know where I can get the steel sleeves that go in the frame rails in a fox for the k member, mine are shot, and I want to replace them before I get the shady areas cut out and replaced at winter

You could make them out of some tubing

[Jrcmutang]

mine are completely gone

Just use some steel pipe or tubing. They just have to be a little bigger than the bolts to allow for some adjustment. If you notice some of the holes in the frame are oval shaped. Well, that is if there's enough of your frame left to see that.

I like what Decker did with his coupe, although I'm not sure he even has the pics any more.

I think the tubes are just to keep from collapsing the frame rails, right Jesse?

you can use piston pins

[Stangman]

Yes. Without them, they'll start to buckle without even being to the torque spec they need to be. Mine are sorta gone on the drivers side of my hatchback, but I plated them with enough steel now that it doesnt matter :lol:

Yep, my coupe I have for sale has 2 5.0 nitrous piston pins in them lol. Worked great and they will never rust out again.

I might just have to lop my frame rails back open and slide some wrist pins in there for good measure!
