Tapped:
Here it is back in the car and bolted together:
Cap screws from outside the car:
Welded on a gusset.
This bracket added a ton of stiffness. To recap: there are a total of 3 brackets on the driver's side.
1) The main one. attaches the subframe to the frame rail
2) adds redundancy and some triangulation to the main one
3) connects the engine subframe to the suspension subframe.
With just the main bracket in, I kicked the subframe and it visibly shook at a low frequency. This was about cut in half with the addition of bracket #2. After I finished #3, it is like kicking a wall
Next up is to repeat the last week's activity on the PS.
