Back in the day I used to build harness for Union Pacific. We laid out diagrams on multiple sheets of plywood and created harness that way. I am going to start to lay out my harness on paper and do the same with evo harnesses...maybe I will produce a couple one day if it works out.

Hell I may need to buy one.

Did we ever get an answer for this?

Oh, I believe people were talking about the front subframe in Dan's thread but also mentioned the rear subframe from Magnus.

Yeah i was trying to figure out if the weight magnus claims is with an integrated mustache bar...or if it is without, requiring the use of a mustache bar

Oh ok, my bad. Well after reading it seems it doesnt use the mustache bar... of course it would be nice to verify.

Are you planning to grab that subframe?

Oh nice.
I never read up on that piece, but it surely is expensive.
Has it been proven to perform better on the track?

The weight claim is from the removal of oe mustache bar. The magnus piece has solid mounts incorporated into the subframe.

The three holes in the middle are for the rear of the diff, the plates in the front are what holds the diff at the front.

I removed both front brake caliper shields over the weekend while I was installing different wheel studs. Probably a little over a 1lb combined lol. Massive weight for Dan
