I have been into cars and restoring them as a hobby since 1989. Also love home theaters and watching cult movies. My real job is in IT and a computer tech for a school district.
1970-81 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am CPP Totally Tubular Subframe Connectors
Jul 24, 2018
If you don't have subframe connectors these are a good choice
I swapped out a set of comp engineering subframe connectors for these and let me say I love them. They are well made and super solid.
To install them you have to drill out four holes in the rear of the subframe on each side. I used just used a paint pen to mark all of my holes, and centered the bit. Then use the supplied U-bolts to snake through the holes and tighten down.
On the rear you use one bolt location that is used to mount the leaf spring perch and drill two additional holes on each side of the rear frame rail. I used a paint pen again to mark those spots and drilled them out.
Then use the supplied U bolt to tighten the connector to the frame rail and the supplied spacer and bolt for the leaf spring perch location.
These connectors do a great job of hugging the floor and tucked roughly under the car. You can barely see them looking at the car. No floor modifications needed.
If I have to give any kind of negative, there were no instructions so I had to kind of figure it out on my own because the CCP website isn't very much help.
But overall I am pleased

56 Pin Universal JAMMA Adapter

Works like it should
My only complaint is that it's next to impossible to get the wires in the connectors and screw down.
I think it's the angle of the and little working room you have between area to get wire in. Since the opens doesn't open very far standard stranded wire will not work...it bends and doesn't go in.
I actually tried using pieces of wire cut from a jamma harness first, no luck. It was a nightmare to mess with.
Ended up getting some really small solid core wire that's used for garage door opener sensors and was able to bend the end at a angle and it went in smoothly.
So keep that in mind if you purchase one of these...next time I might just buy a flat jamma adapter and solder the wires on the board. Might be easier.
I was making an adapter to divert the buttons and in the end it does what I need to do and works really well.
Was looking for a washer nut for my 1971 camaro pump, this is used across multiple GM platforms and works as intended for my application. So it's not limited to 75-91 Corvette.
Wish it was a little cheaper, I did find it on an online corvettes parts warehouse after I made the purchase on eBay for $5 cheaper shipped than what I paid here. Lesson learned
