crush tubes

[cheese]

I want to fit a pair of crush tubes into my 910 bluebird so i can fit the more modern crossmembers from s13 or r23 etc

do i need to weld the crush tube in place?
or can i just tack it on, it should be strong with everything bolted together.



cheers for your time

mike.

Hi Mike

The crush tube must be fully welded to the face of the chassis rail or crossmember
opposite to that which the component is
positioned against.

The HCTM also details some additional requirements relating to crush tubes, and also provides a diagram to assist.

I hope this helps

Cheers, Justin
