It would reduce the chance and/or severity, but I wouldn't say it would prevent it.

If you are using a plastic filler in that area you could try Metal To Metal filler from Evercoat or just lead fill it instead.  Both would be better for areas that are stressed.  If it is just primed and painted, someone else might have a good answer for you because I am no body work expert.  I would think the goal would be to make what ever was used there more flexiable.  Might be as simple as adding a flex agent to the mix.

Do you have pictures of the exact area you are talking about?

Thanks.  Went to that site but did not see any frame connectors listed; at least not for the E-body   :dunno:


Just so you know, we have been selling correct Torque Boxes for a quite while now (All B&E body cars) and will soon have A-bodies as well.

We just started stocking and offering US Cartools frame connectors so that our customers can have one stop shopping convenience. We sell for the same price as US Cartool sells direct so there's no extra cost to our customers.

 :cheers:

I havn't done it yet but i'm assuming you'll just need to cut small pieces out so the cable can run through?

Yeah... I think so too. I had to trim my connectors quite a bit to make 'em fit. Espesialy in the front.
