guys, I just got the front frame extension to replace my rusty one. The top right tab on it has a radius cut out. Does anyone know why? It doesn't seem right to me

That is not right at all. That is not how we receive them from the supplier.

Yea that doesn't look right.
Here's what mine looked like before I installed it:

I seem to remember a clearance problem with the coolant pipes up there when I replaced my coolant pipes. I bet that is a modifcation they came up with.

Coolant tube crosses on the outside and usually hits the bolt for the right radiator bracket. Never seen issues there.

I just remember when the pipes beside the fuel tank bend up in front that I had to put some rubber around them to prevent them from touching the frame.Originally Posted by DPI JOSH

Contact DMCH yet? I would have started there.
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

It looks like a mod to reduce interference with a steering u-joint - especially if using an aftermarket one which might be bigger than stock. The only issue is that it is on the wrong side of the frame for this - unless its for a RHD car?

He did (after the original post). I was hoping that he would have posted the explanation (there is one) on here by now.
Things are not always as they seem.

Is it FERPA protected or are you allowed to say?
