When we ran a full service chassis fab/turn-key hot rod shop a number of years ago, it was always useful to have threaded things around to weld into the frame for some kind of mount, etc.
Here’s a list of all our threaded things for your reference:
Center Section Kit
This horizontal tower design significantly enhances frame rigidity and minimizes torsional flex, providing 8 reinforced frame connection points for optimal strength. It is compatible with frame widths up to 42" and supports most common GM transmissions. For added durability, boxing your frame is highly recommended.
The customer trims the main tubes for precise fitment to their frame, ensuring a custom fit. The main structure is built using ERW 1-1/2″ x .120 wall tubing, while the triangulating supports are ERW 1″ x .120 wall tubing. All tubes are mandrel-bent and notched but shipped unwelded, allowing for easier adjustment and installation. Exhaust routing between the tubes provides a clean, professional appearance. When used with Welder Series mounts, the transmission can be easily dropped for maintenance.
This kit is compatible with the Welder Series brake pedal & master cylinder/power booster mounting kit (#WS25800), though this is sold separately. Clear, easy-to-follow installation instructions are included.
This center section is available with the following transmission mounting brackets:
- GM T350: #WS132535
- GM T400, 700R4 (and similar electronically controlled transmissions): #WS132570
A $10 additional shipping charge applies. For convenience, consider adding exhaust hangers or mounting tabs for a transmission cooler during the installation process (see related products below).
