Thanks Herb, I was waiting for someone to state the obvious, I don't install frame connectors for looks, therefore I put in something that will be strong enough to work as designed. All of mine go though the floor, not only for extra strength but also to connect with the body channel internally and to use for location point for main hoop of cage. There are a couple of ways of installing connectors without going through the floor but I don't think the contoured ones are it. I am not by any means a structural engineer, just a guy who has been around awhile, probably too long actually.

The problem with the contoured ones are they are as strong as the thinnest section. That said if your looking for looks there OK but if your puttingsome horse power to them they will eventually crack at the weakest/thinnestpoint! And I would surmise let the body twist anyway.

I can't seem to find them but I know I've seen them.
