Cutting subframe rail for SFC install

[WSSix]

So I'm working on getting home made DSE style subframe connectors in my car. My driver's side front subframe rail is not square at the end. It's actually bent on the outside corner in order to allow the parking brake cable to follow its original route. Because of this, I'm thinking the easiest thing to do to make the frame rail square and allow me to join the connector to the subframe is to simply cut 2 inches off the end of the subframe rail. I can't see a problem with doing this since I'm putting the subframe connectors in the car. But, I wanted to check with the rest of you in case I'm missing something or in case someone else has already been there done that.

I intend to cut the passenger side rail also simply to be uniform. It's square on its end since there isn't a parking brake cable on that side.

Thanks

I got nothing. Sorry. I can text you a pic of mine, pm your cell if you'd like.

No worries, Mike. I appreciate the offer. I believe the bend or crease that GM put in the rail is a late 2nd gen deal. I see pictures of peoples early 2nd gens and compared to their cars, I have a lot of metal after the rear most frame bolts. Had I not changed my mind on cutting the floors, I'd be using the SFCs I got from Keith. The crease/bend doesn't affect that style of SFCs. I could finish mine off in a similar manner but I figure if I'm going to cut the car up, I might as well make it look as nice as I can.

give Keith a call. He so great about service after the sale. GL
