My buddy did the Chassis Engineering back half four link on his S10, seemed like everything went together nice and easy, pretty cost effective option for him.
I think I would slit the drop out on top, bottom and both sides centers to form a welded tube then rotate to the frame 180° and slipfit inside while assembling the halves before plug/seam welding. The tube end angles would be opposite frame seam angle. I would only fish plate on the inside.
In bending the majority of the stresses go through the top and bottom. Ground vehicles are overbuilt so I suspect you could get away with just the sides but I would recommend top and bottom too.
Agree about over building. As of now the tops and bottoms are butt welded but I likely will add plates. The engine and trans mount are moving back and I’ll circle back on this as that stuff unfolds. Thanks
Yeah, I thought about that and saw that guys modifying big truck frames went with the Z but this thing is already boxed, will be under a car body, and those plates I added seemed liked equalizers so I went with the 45

Should of z cut instead of 45 much stronger z cut but great video
