sayhuh? Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Is it anything structural? I want/ need to cut the two metal pieces circled in order to fit my box...I could modify the box, but trying not to lose cu ft. If this isn't anything important, then it is gone! lol. Not familiar with the frame integrity of a hatch. Thanks Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm drunk but looking at it doesn't look like it provides any structural rigidity. It looks more like an easy way to mount something up to it. What was connected to it? Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty959 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 It is very hard to tell from just that picture. Being able to tell where it came from/where it goes as well as feeling its thickness would be better to tell how important it is or if it was just a seat mount or something. 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayhuh? Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm drunk but looking at it doesn't look like it provides any structural rigidity. It looks more like an easy way to mount something up to it. What was connected to it? Not connected to anything really. It's where my seats use to rest against. I figured it was more of a 'support' for the seats than anything, but safer to ask lol. MarioB... no YOU wouldn't kidding!!!! lol Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95legwagon Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 they could be supports for the rear struts so the back of the car doesnt fold..... seen alot of different vehicles use something like those to keep the car rigid right there as thats a high stress point when you go over a bump or big dip in the road for the suspension to compress....but imho i WOULDNT cut that out or at least if you decide to, weld up some strong braces to those same points around the box if possible.... just my 2 cents i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

TeamHT Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yes, but I've never seen them mounted like those. A better look doesn't show it to be anything structural Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
