    ..... do you have any cracks now?


    Yes, I do have a few small hairline cracks, which definitely should be addressed.

    I followed a few threads on e46f and a M3 forum about the difference between welding and epoxy kits. Epoxy is def the way to go. As said earlier, much greater surface area to bond. I'll try and find the thread I was reading, Very informative. While my car is out of action I am going to go under the rear end and inspect. Thinking the time to do this would be when replacing rear suspension.

    How long is the group buy offer on the table?

    This is interesting. Any idea of the price for the plates? I read that we could order the bar now and wait for the plates to cut down on shipping.

    Not sure as Vince is still working on fabricating them. I will shoot him a PM and find out.

    Here is the info on the "Vince Plates".

    In the meantime, here are a couple of pics showing the current progress on the first layer of the left rear "plate".

    Finally he's working on the plates. He told me about this a long time ago so that's why I've just been waiting lol I also need it see his X-brace implementation too so I have to keep on waiting. Luckily I haven't driven my car at all so it's fine.

    X-brace??

    My wallet is about to go on a serious diet.

    VinceBar Sub Frame Reinforcement Kit!

    Update:

There will be epoxy between the layers, and rivets to clamp them together, as well as tie the plate layers to the bases of the threaded receivers.



    This picture shows how I've made a small indentation to make the inner layer sit tight against the indentation of the RACP. There will then be a rivet tying into the mounting point of the threaded receiver (to which the spot welds attach on post feb 2000 built E46's).



    Here's a pic of the spot welds mentioned above.



    The first VincePlate set is installed!
