I like the reinforcement. The snubber is a piece of rubber that touches the c-beam, right? Is it removable in case you need to take out the c-beam? Are there pics of underneath that are visible?

No rubber. The snubber is solid. The tube runs down and has a 1/2" plate the same size as the c beam plate welded to the end. The plate just barley makes contact with the C beam plate. I didn't want any rotational movement from the D44 housing as they tend to rip the case apart or break the pinion/snout off them in really high HP cars. I also have some solid batwing bushings in back to help it out.


The snubber bar is not removeable (at present) but the upper C-Beam plates have the bolts welded/captured in place so it is a simple unbolt from the bottom, then slide the top C-Beam plate out and then slide the C-Beam back and over like normal. I thought that sometime in the future I would like to be able to pre load the housing or whatever - so I still may modify this at a later date.

I will take some pics from the bottom and from the top (with the bar painted and carpet back in the car) this weekend.
