Nice 5-spd cradle

Finally got a chance to take a few pics. This cradle uses ONLY original SVX mounting points.

Here's a few pics on the ground (with a tranny mount for the RS tranny in place)

And here's a few pics installed. BTW, the pipe bends look cool bending around the cats. Just like Subie might have done!

Nice job, looks like I might have some compitition on the X-member fabbing market

I notice you didn't need to notch out the auto X-member to clear the back of the tranny. It dosn't hit at all?

It's made from a combination of stock SVX parts, 1 1/4" iron pipe, and 2" channel.

I have had the problems with the drive shaft, and i had alot of problems with exhaust clearnce. But in all honesty i just don't trust those small mounts to take the abuse i can dole out.

Can I copycat....:)

Hey all....I see through this paticular thread that there are several of you needing / wanting this Very nice looking Bracket that SVXHunter and SubaFreak Built.....

I Am currently doing a 5 speed Swap into an SVX for a Customer, And Huck Told me about this Site, and Specifically this thread for bracket Idea's.....I love the Bracket....I built One already for this project.....

I do Custom Subaru Conversions For a Living, And I am willing and Able to add this Bracket to my one of many items I do....

My thought on this Bracket is to do it as Low cost As I can , and To pass that on to anyone who is doing the conversion to their SVX.....

I can Build the Bends and The channel piece drilled For about $30.00 - $40.00 + shipping.....

Doing it this way , The buyer will need to trim down and Weld the pieces into their factory SVX hardware......Any Good Welder Should be able to do this In 1 hr or so.....Someone at home doing it the first time can do it in 1-3 hrs.....But you'll end up with this Nice Looking Factory Looking Part.....

If someone didn't have the Means to weld this up, And wanted to ship me the factory Mounts, I can jig up to do the welding here as well.....and ship back a Complete unit......


Let me know What you all think.....I don't want To Step on anyones toes.....

Talk soon, John

P.S. plug for self, This is My site.....

I think with the number of part outs we are seeing we should be able to bank a few stock mounts and you would be able to do some business with ready to install brackets. From what I have seen only a few people here are really good with welding and those guys would just make their own brackets anyway.

I don't think you're stepping on anyone's toes. We are all just here to improve the svx experience

Exactly, You seem to have more time for this custom fabbing thing than anyone else, in fact it seams to be what you do. I just don't have the time, and now I don't really have the means But I say go for it I'm still avalible for full out swaps thoe.
