EDIT: Added pictures as I noticed that the YouTube video previews don’t show in the web version of the forum (as they do in Tapatalk).
It’s been a long time coming, but now I’m finally in the development phase of the convertible specific front gusset cups.
And in developing the vert specific front gusset cups I’ve decided to share the actual development process in real time.
I’m thinking it may be interesting to follow the progress and see what conclusions and set backs I encounter.
I’ll be sharing this on YouTube and posting the videos here in the NAM3 community.
If you feel that these videos are helpful and educational please help me spread the knowledge and information by liking the videos.
I’ve been told that the number of likes a video receives highly influence the YouTube algorithms probability to suggest said video to others that share our interest in the E46 platform.
That said, let’s dive into this!
As an introduction for those who might not be familiar with the front gusset cups, they are part of the PPRnD solution for addressing the so called Subframe (actually RACP, or Rear Axle Carrier Panel) failures.
More specifically the front gusset cups address the, still fairly often overlooked, cracking of the topside of the front subframe mounts.
I explain how and why these cracks occur, and how the front gusset cups address this issue in the following videos:
Part 1
Part 2
There is also some valuable information starting approximately 10 minutes into part 4 of the “VinceBar and gusset cups overview”:

And now to the actual vert specific gusset cup content!
In this first video I provide an introductory overview of the project as well as provide some tips on how to remove the interior in order to expose the area where we will be working:
In this second video I provide some more detailed information on the challenges with this project:
And in this third video, which I published as late as yesterday, I start diving into the actual development:
So once you have watched these three videos you will have caught up to where I am in the development so far.
In parallel I’ve also published some videos on how to properly inspect the underside of the RACP for damage. In these videos I also share tips on how to remove things like the brake lines and gas tank and its supporting tubes. And also tips on how to clean the underside of your car.
This information is found in these two videos:
