The detents allow fine tuning for the real high HP deals. I really like these torque boxes...

I decided to go with Tim Lyons upper and lowers , he will also do my rear end. He certainly gave me the best service over the phone !

Running straight bars (or X bars) from the upper TQ boxes (or upper TQ box cross bar) up to the top of the main hoop might make the main hoop it's self stronger, but not really do much for the upper TQ boxes. This is because under launch loading the rear housing pulls backward on the upper TQ boxes. So IMO that means any added upper TQ box bracing would generally need to attach/point to a frame and cage structure in a forward direction to fight the rearward pull/loading on the upper TQ boxes.

Re: Bruno's 87 Mustang build
Thxs Dave for your input , are you suggesting 2 bars ? and would you rather tie those bars directly into the box or into the bar that ties the 2 boxes together ?

Re: Bruno's 87 Mustang build
Yea, 2 bars each side to better triangulate everything.bruno wrote:............are you suggesting 2 bars ?...........
Either way would probably be OK, which ever allows you to get a good/full weld on the weld joints. If you tie into the cross brace instead of directly to the upper TQ boxes you probably want to attach the bars as close to each TQ box as possible.bruno wrote:............and would you rather tie those bars directly into the box or into the bar that ties the 2 boxes together ?
And don't forget the 2 short braces running from the rear wrap-around bars (mentioned earlier) down to the frame (or upper TQ boxes).

Re: Bruno's 87 Mustang build
Might also want to be real careful if you Mig any added thick wall mild steel tube bracing (say .108" to .134" wall) directly to the upper TQ box's crossbar/crossmember if they made the crossbar out of thin wall 'moly.

Re: Bruno's 87 Mustang build
Heat the thicker mild steel before you weld to thinner metal

If the 'moly tubing crossbar is like .083" wall, and if the added mild steel tube braces are also .083" wall, then don't worry about preheating anything before zipping it with the Mig. Just remember to lower the heat setting for .083 material, don't blast it with the machine cranked up for .134 wall stuff.
And even if the the 'moly tubing crossbar is .083" wall, and the added mild steel braces are thicker (like say .108 to .120" wall) you probably still don't have to worry about preheating if the thicker material is what gets fish-mouthed. That open edge of the fish-mouthed tubing should take on heat rather quickly even if it is a thicker wall.
Now if things were reversed & the crossbar was the thicker material and you were fish-mouthing thinner wall tube braces to it then that's when you might think about preheating the thicker material.

Re: Bruno's 87 Mustang build
Looking good Nick!
Some guys also run bars straight up from the new torque box piece into the rear down bars. But that'll depend on you rear down bar width. Whatever you will be fine.
