Auto Metal Direct W-646 Subframe Mount Repair Plates - Heavy Duty Replacement Brackets for Vehicle Frame Reinforcement | Perfect for DIY Car Repairs & Restoration Projects

Material is too thin. Stock subframe measures 0.125" thick (1/8 inch). These measure 0.100" or 20% thinner. It is ridiculous to go through all the work to drop your subrame and repair just to put in thin crap. These plates are meant to repair a critical stressed area that rusts, why replace with even thinner than OEM? Also, these are stamped from galvanized steel - dangerous to breath fumes when you weld and you must grind to avoid contamination when welding. Pointless considering you HAVE to paint over the cut/weld areas anyway. Finally, these require considerable trimming to fit and weld - as expected. Don't waste your time on this thin crap. Buy another brand which is higher quality or just get some proper thickness steel and make yourself. BTW, the brand on the bad I received was Classic Headquarters but was bought from Auto Metal Direct
