the convertable sn95's got some subframe connectors (nothing more than thin gauge steel box tubing), not sure about fox's

i wouldnt bother with them, because the holes for the rivots can/will elongate, and basically defeat any purpose of having them, get some thicker gauge steel and have it welded up, it would be your best bet
