Default just a warning before you destroy your floor < dse floaters >

Just a warning for you guys..

aparently some of the DSE floaters shipped with instructions that say you can just bolt them on and welding is not needed.

i have a customers 69 vert here and he even brough me the instructions to prove it to me because i found it hard to believe anyone would recomend just bolting on floaters.

Sure enough they said that you can simply bolt the floaters to the axle tube.

THIS IS NOT TRUE you MUST weld them unless your car makes like 150 rwhp.

This customer bolted them and brought us the car to dyno .. his rear end twisted up and slamed the pinion and drive shaft into his floor at 5000 rpm adn abotu 134 mph wheel speed during a full throttle pull tearing it all up and breaking his drive shaft.

So please people always WELD floaters once you have set your pinion angle at ride hieght.
