hey guys, instaled the kafer today but could only weld on the outside of the tabs. couldnt get the gun on the inside as the earbox was in the way.

do you think the weld still will be strong enough?

or maybe a stick welder can get in there?

Craig, I think I want one of those magnificent five bar setups.
It's going on a 2003 Ultima with Tangerine headers.
I have no clue as to how to get the passenger side bar to fit; there is a will, there must be a way.
Please, quote me in US$ with shipping.
Thanks,

Manny

Craig, are you busy?
I can skype you, only half a world away.
Also, is the engine cradle meant to be used with or without the urethane mounts?
Need a 5 bar setup

As long as you are a good welder it should be OK.

Patience.........all great things take time.

My 3 bar kit was delivered exactly seven days after being mailed. I live in the USA.

It takes longer than that to get any parts delivered domestically.

A work of art in design. Same price as the CSP Kafer Bars but easier to install and much better design.

Here is the kicker....I can upgrade to a 5 bar any time by ordering the extra braces and weld tabs. The end pieces that bolt the shock struts together are set for either a 3 or 5 bar.

Thanks, Craig, for a great product.
