    weld in Vince Bar

    Does anyone have any pictures during/after install of the weld in version? Everything I see online seems to be the epoxy version. My two main questions is what to do with the T joint in the trunk area across the rear mounts and how much of the exterior of the bar is supposed to be welded to the car. I have the simplified version that is ready to be welded in. Also, if anyone has the extended tap he offers and you no longer want it I would be happy to buy it off you. Thanks!

    Too bad all of this info was wiped when the old forum went down.

    Don't quote me on this but from what I remember you were supposed to dremel lines following the "T", couldn't hurt to also stop drill the ends to prevent cracking. Then hammer the raised sections down, and full weld the seam.

    For welding the bar I would think all you should have to do is weld the two plates to the chassis rails on either end. Couldn't hurt to put a few stitch welds along the middle of the bar as well.

      Yeah, it's a bummer for sure. That's what I was thinking for the T. Dremel it, make it flat, weld and then grind flat. I figured as much for the main bar part but you never know. Thanks for your input!

        Reach out to Vince on Facebook. He got back to me in a day or two with a ton of pictures for the epoxy kit.

          I stop drilled then used a dremel to cut. Hammer flat. Weld and grind flat.

            I sent him a message on FB a few days ago but never heard back.

              Looks simple enough. I appreciate the pic.
