Default RideTech Brackets

So I have the brackets for the rearend of the Chevelle ready to be bolted in place. Just wondering if I need to weld them in after bolting them together. There is one holethat needs to be drilled to accept the bolt, I was thinking that I would just weld it in instead. Thoughts?

Thanks,

This is easy....


Call RideTech and ask them. It's their product.


Not being an asshat here --- just saying that if anyone should have experience and know what the answer is - it should be them.

None taken Greg. I've just had a little trouble getting in touch with them on an email so I just thought I would ask here. I'll discuss with them as he just answered me right before I go your reply. It's show season for them and I've got plenty of time.

Thanks

You can weld them if you'd like, but there's no reason to.
We've have a ton of miles on a couple of A-Bodies in our fleet with the brackets bolted on with zero issues.

In fact, the 66 Chevelle was just in Texas for the USCA race.

Talked to Ridetech today. they said what ever I wanted to do. They try to keep their components as much bolt on as possible, but said to weld them if I wanted. I'll see as I start to install.

Thanks all.
