The clip attaches to the car using the factory lowerframe and firewall mounts. Our front clips are completely factory-welded and built from 1‑5/8 x .083” 4130, round tubing to create additional engine-bay room for tall-deck engines, large-diameter headers, and custom plumbing. The packaged system includes the factory-welded frame clip (bare steel), doubleadjustable billet VariStruts, control arms with 4130 rod ends, billet-aluminum drag-race rack, billet rack clamps, bump-steer-adjustable tie-rod ends, and complete disc-brake set with billet hubs, lightweight rotors and Wilwood 4-piston aluminum calipers. Only ◾ Billet VariStruts Billet VariStruts feature double-adjustable valving, an adjustable-height spherical-bearing top mount, and 6” of suspension travel; ideal for restricted tire-size racing classes. The dual 16-position valve-adjustment knobs allow you to precisely tune the rate of weight transfer at launch and how the chassis settles down track. The upper strut mount’s threaded mechanism is exclusive to Chassisworks and allows you to fine tune vehicle ride height and balance without sacrificing front suspension travel. OPTION - High-Rebound Strut VariShock’s piggyback-style, 6” travel, drag race strut achieves significantly higher rebound forces than our single-body struts through use of a completely new valve system. The combination of finer control at higher pressures with increased fluid volume greatly improves the struts ability to control the front end’s reaction during launches. This is a highly recommended upgrade for extreme horsepower, small-tire vehicles competing at the top rank of professional levels. 4 E Order: 800-722-2269 E Technical Assistance/Customer Service: 916-388-0288 124 pounds!

E Spindle-mount brakes with optional slotted rotor A four-piston forged-aluminum caliper with 11-3/4” rotor option is also available for heavier vehicles. Optional slotted rotors can be selected to further reduce weight. Product detail on page 5. E Light-duty brakes with optional slotted rotor E Medium-duty brakes with optional slotted rotor See page 5 for more info. ◾ Drag-Race Billet Rack and Pinion Our all new drag-race billet rack cures the annoyance of inadequate turning radius when maneuvering around the pits by increasing rack travel to 6-5/8”. The additional travel does not disrupt the high-speed stability of the strut’s slower steering geometry created by lengthening the steering arms but simply allows you to turn the strut at sharper angles when needed. ◾ Drivetrain Mounts Factory-welded motor- and mid-plate mounting tabs make installation of our profile-milled motor and mid plates easy and extremely clean. Small-block Chevy motor plates (1483) are a direct fit, but big-block Chevy plates (6046) require billet adapter kit (6047). The mid plate (6059) bolts directly to the lower frame mounts and fits Lakewood and other similar bellhousings. 6046 6047 F Mid plate mounts to inner holes of factory main subframe joint. Frameadapter brackets enable the mid plate to be removed and reinstalled without disrupting the main subframe joint. 7702 FRAME OPTIONS STRUT OPTIONS BRAKE OPTIONS MOTOR-PLATE OPTIONS MID-PLATE OPTIONS STRUT CLIP BOLT-ON ‘62-67 CHEVY II INCLUDES: 4130-STEEL ROUND-TUBE FRAME CLIP, DOUBLE-ADJUSTABLE STRUTS, CONTROL ARMS WITH 4130 ROD ENDS, BILLET SATIN-FINISH DRAG-RACE RACK WITH BUMP-STEER-ADJUSTABLE TIE-ROD ENDS, BILLET RACK CLAMPS, AND COMPLETE DISCBRAKE SET WITH BILLET HUBS, SOLID ROTORS, AND WILWOOD CALIPERS EXTRA 4130 WELD-ON FRAME ADAPTER PLATES (TO ATTACH TO TUBE CHASSIS) LIGHTWEIGHT STOCK BUMPER MOUNTS, 4130 DOUBLE-ADJUSTABLE 6” TRAVEL STRUTS HIGH-REBOUND, PIGGYBACK RESERVOIR, DOUBLE-ADJUSTABLE, 6” TRAVEL STRUTS SPINDLE MOUNT BRAKE FOR WELD & AMERICAN WHEELS L/D DISC BRAKE SOLID 10” X .35” ROTORS AND BLACK CALIPERS L/D DISC BRAKE SLOTTED 10” X .35” ROTORS AND BLACK CALIPERS M/D DISC BRAKE SLOTTED 11.75” X .35” ROTORS AND BLACK CALIPERS M/D DISC BRAKE SLOTTED 11.75” X .35” ROTORS AND POLISHED CALIPERS SMALL-BLOCK-CHEVY MOTOR PLATE BIG-BLOCK-CHEVY MOTOR PLATE AND ADAPTERS AUTOMATIC MID PLATE WITH 1/2” OFFSET TO PASSENGER SIDE LAKEWOOD CAN MID PLATE WITH 1/2” OFFSET TO PASSENGER SIDE 1/4” THICK ALUMINUM MID PLATE NO FRAME ADAPTERS E Email: [email protected] E Web: CAChassisworks.com 5 HOME Chevy II g-Machine Subframe System Chassisworks’ muscle-car g-Machine Chevy II subframe is a direct-fit, high-performance suspension solution designed for 1962-67 Chevrolet Chevy II Novas and 1963-67 Pontiac Acadians. The system features a welded subframe with integrated g-Machine double A-arm, rack-and-pinion crossmember and two supporting struts, all secured at the factory firewall mounting locations. Our direct bolt-on design enables a time-saving, straight-forward installation that requires absolutely no custom fabrication. Unlike others, the g-Machine Chevy II subframe is completely boxed with welded radiator-core-support crossmember, high-clearance bent support struts for engine and exhaust clearance, and optional aluminum inner fender panels and steel fender supports with integrated hood-hinge mounts. As an option, factory-welded motor-plate brackets can also be added for vehicles requiring maximum chassis stiffness, while an optional mid plate is a simple bolt-on. ◾ Single-Box Shipment! The Chevy II g-Machine system components are individually packed to prevent damage during shipping and to ease part identification during assembly. All boxed components are then loaded into a heavyduty, pallet-mounted box and truck-freighted directly to your door — avoiding confusing multiple-package paperwork and lost shipments. 6 E Order: 800-722-2269 E Technical Assistance/Customer Service: 916-388-0288 HOME Chevy II g-Machine Subframe System ◾ Precision-Fit Quality Through Advanced Technology One of the key pieces of advanced technical equipment used in development of our vehicle-retrofit component systems is the FaroArm portable coordinatemeasuring machine. The FaroArm is an articulating, multi-segmented arm that enables precise three-dimensional digitization of vehicle surfaces and mounting points, accurate to within .003”. To begin, multiple identical vehicles are extensively measured to find the OEM tolerance range we must accommodate in our final design. From these scans, an exact model of the vehicle chassis is created in our Pro/ENGINEER software. Engineers can then accurately and efficiently design systems, simulate movement or conditions, and conduct finite element analysis (FEA) testing to optimize performance and durability before physically making any parts. Manufacturing fixtures and tooling are also based on the original vehicle scans, avoiding loose tolerances of transferred prototype dimensions and ensuring the quality and ease of fit of the final product.

State-of-the-art engineering workstations with Pro/ENGINEER software—combined with our advanced, automated factory—enabled Chassisworks’ engineers to create a current-technology, competitively priced g-Machine front clip and suspension for first- and second-generation Chevy II Novas and Pontiac Acadians. Chassisworks’ new g-Machine design is far superior in performance, reliability, and ease of installation than components made to replace 40-year-old ‘60s muscle-car geometry and variants of the 30-year-old Mustang II suspension. Although late-model-Corvette–based systems offer similar performance, your choice of wheels is extremely limited to flat-face, high-negative-offset wheels. Our complete suspension and steering system is factory-welded directly to the bent-tube billet-component crossmember, ensuring perfect geometry and eliminating the need to weld multiple pieces or make complicated measurements while installing the system. The Chassisworks’ Design Is Superior in These Key Areas: ◾ Single piece, 4 x 2 x .120” crossmember with large-radius mandrel bends to distribute loads throughout the crossmember, eliminating fatigue points at critical areas. ◾ By making our own billet rack-and-pinion assembly, we are able to offer perfect front-suspension geometry at the correct hub-to-hub width. ◾ Rack and pinion is placed forward of the axle centerline (front steer) for better oil-pan clearance and rotates to eliminate sharp universal-joint angles and improve exhaust clearance. ◾ With nearly zero bumpsteer in 6” of suspension travel, vehicle handling is predictable regardless of the chassis’ changing pitch or roll state. ◾ Broad lower control arm increases load capacity and stability during braking and cornering. ◾ Longer lower control arm length reduces track-width change and roll-center movement during suspension travel for smoother transitions entering and exiting turns. ◾ Lower shock mount is located very close to the balljoint for better shock-motion ratio. A higher shock-motion ratio allows use of lighter, lower-rate springs for better suspension control without degrading ride quality. ◾ Our g-Machine spindle is taller than OEM spindles and therefore increases camber gain during body roll, keeping tires in better contact with road surface. ◾ Two-inch-dropped spindle lowers ride height and center of gravity to improve overall handling. (Optional shock mounts are available to raise car to “near stock” ride height.) ◾ Short/long arm (SLA) suspension layout is a compact, low-profile suspension design that leaves plenty of room around the engine. ◾ Traditional hub-style spindle accepts up to 14” brakes and allows more wheel choices compared to Corvette-style spindles. 8 E Order: 800-722-2269 E Technical Assistance/Customer Service: 916-388-0288 HOME Chevy II g-Machine Subframe System ◾ Suspension and Steering Components A broad range of suspension and steering components enables the system to be custom-outfitted to match your performance requirements. Options include manual or power rack-and-pinion, Street- or g-Machine control arms, behind-crossmember– or forward-of-rack–mounted anti-roll bars, fabricated or sculpted spindles, and 11‑3/4”-rotor street brakes or 13”- or 14”-rotor high-performance brakes. Bolton installation with perfect geometry and tailored performance make the g‑Machine system an excellent choice for your next project. ◾ Improved-Fit NoFab Installation Direct-fit installation ensures that all major drivetrain components remain in their exact factory positions. Engine height, 1/2” offset, and setback are the same as stock, requiring no additional hood clearance or modification to the firewall or transmission tunnel. Two mounting styles of anti-roll bars are available. The standard rear-mount anti-roll bar has the same forward clearance as the stock Chevy II clip. Optional splinedend, forward-mount anti-roll bar attaches under the front frame rails, forward of the rack and pinion to provide approximately two more inches of forward pan clearance. Hub-to-hub width has been narrowed to 57”, and front axle centerline has moved rearward 1/2” to create additional clearance between the tire and fender. Ride height is lowered approximately 1-1/2” to 2” below stock and maintains 4-1/2” of ground clearance below the suspension crossmember. An optional shock mount is available to raise the crossmember to 5-3/4”; approximately 1/2” below stock height. Additional frame, control arm, and fender clearance allows maximum tire dimensions of 25” tall by 9” wide, and wheels 8” wide with 4-1/2” backspacing. Acceptable sizes include 225/5016, 225/45‑17, 225/40-18, 225/35-19, and 225/30-20. Note: Fender lips may need to be rolled for proper clearance.

Between the lower subframe mounting plate and g-Machine suspension crossmember, 4 x 2 x .120”-wall tubing is used to substantially increase stability and strength, enabling better control of engine torque and chassis flex than other 3 x 2” designs. Forward of the crossmember, 3 x 2 x .120”-wall tubing is reinforced by a fabricated frame horn, which broadens width to 3.25”, provides additional walls to greatly strengthen the forward-strut Gemini connector attachment area, and houses the bumper-bracket weld nuts. Enclosing the frame horns and bridging the two rails together is the radiator-core-support crossmember. The factory core-support panel and grille center support simply bolt to the folded crossmember, improving upon the strength and quality of the OEM sheetmetal component. Subframe rails, suspension crossmember, and various mounts are positioned and welded in a fixture. The final fixture welding of the subassemblies ensures that firewall, motor, bumper, and core-support mounts are perfectly positioned for a trouble-free installation. Completed base subframe assemblies are shipped as bare steel with sanded corner welds, ready for paint or powder coating. High-Clearance Forward Struts Utilizes Factory Mounting Locations Bent-Tube, Billet-Component Crossmember Secondary RadiatorSupport Crossmember Specially Reinforced Frame-Rail Section Gemini Connector ◾ High-Clearance Forward Struts Tubular struts between the factory upper firewall mount and welded-subframe’s Gemini connector triangulate the front clip, virtually eliminating chassis deflection forward of the firewall. Firewall-mount plates can be used with both 1962-65 or 1966-67 bolt patterns, and they utilize shims to 10 E facilitate body panel alignment. Strut tubes are a stout 1-5/8 x .134”-wall and feature multiple mandrel bends to route the tubes tightly along the inner fender, providing more clearance around the engine than other designs. Order: 800-722-2269 E Technical Assistance/Customer Service: 916-388-0288 HOME Chevy II g-Machine Subframe System ◾ Gemini Connector System Our in-house-engineered Gemini system is used to connect Female Tube Adapter the strut to the subframe, enabling an easy-to-assemble, precision slip-fit joint that is substantially stronger than a welded joint. A broad-based, grooved, male connector is precisely positioned using slot-tab technology and then spray-arc welded to a specially reinforced area of the forward subframe rail. The female tube adapter, welded to Male Connector the end of the forward struts, features a dual-split-clamp design that locks around the male stem with the aid of two 5/16” socket-head cap screws. Once assembled, the Gemini connector system exerts a 1-1/8”-wide band of clamping force completely around the male stem and firmly seats the 5/16” fasteners against the compression groove as the female adapter is drawn closed. Laboratory-conducted, destructive tests have shown that the tube itself will fail prior to damaging the Gemini connector components. Chamfered Tube-Weld Area Fastener Counterbore Dual-Split Clamp Design 5/16” Fasteners Chamfered Base-Weld Area ◾ 4 x 2” g-Machine Crossmember Bent-tube, billet-component crossmembers are a completely closed, rigid structure with greater strength and resistance to bending and twisting than other designs. Formed from a single piece of 4 x 2 x .120” steel tubing, large-radius mandrel bends are placed at each end to distribute loads throughout the crossmember, eliminating fatigue points at critical areas. Slots for the billet-mount tabs are machined in a horizontal machining center with dedicated fixturing to guarantee correct component geometry, ensuring the suspension moves as designed. ◾ Interlocking-Slot-Tab Technology Self-fixturing female slots used with machined male tabs provide an interlocking assembly method that enables A-arm, rack and pinion, and shock mounts to be accurately positioned in all axes. This guarantees the suspension will perform as designed. Noninterlocking designs are not nearly as accurate after welding. Superior spray-arc welding process produces the best weld penetration with excellent appearance. Billet rack-and-pinion mount inserts into machined slot on crossmember.

Unlike slot- or eccentric-mounted A-arms, Chassisworks’ exclusive fixed-axis pivot-pin design eliminates the possibility of shifting pivot shafts, provides greater shear strength, and increases bending resistance. Threaded bosses at each end of the mount enable use of set screws to lock A-arm pivot pins into position. Using slot-tab technology, billet upper A-arm mounts snap and weld into place providing anti-dive geometry and capping the open ends of the 4 x 2” crossmember to better distribute forces, decrease flex throughout the structure, and provide a solid location for the upper shock mount. The lower A-arm mount is a single-piece component passing directly through the crossmember and supported by the anti-roll-bar mounting plate to distribute bending forces throughout the crossmember. This increases rigidity and geometric accuracy of the control arm for more predictable handling. Single-Piece Billet Lower A-Arm Mount Anit-Roll Bar Mount Plate ◾ One-Piece Clevis Shock Mount Our g-Machine upper shock mount has a 1-5/16”-wide formed clevis that accepts 1/2” mounting hardware and provides adequate clearance for use with VariShock coil-overs or ShockWave™ air suspension. Our onepiece design has an integrated gusset across the top and sides to bridge the billet upper A-arm mount to the 4 x 2” crossmember. This provides a larger, more stable mount base, with better appearance than welded designs, and eliminates bending fatigue possible with common sheet metal- or tubing-mounted designs of other manufacturers. ◾ Billet Rack Mounts and Clamps Billet steel rack mounts using dual slot-tab technology form an interlocking bridge between the 4 x 2” crossmember and billet aluminum rack brackets. The angled mount fixture welds to a 4 x 2” crossmember, attaching to the rack body at the widest points. This allows positioning of the rack above the bottom of the crossmember, safe from road hazards. Billet aluminum rack clamps attach into interlocking grooves Slot-Tab Technology, Interlocking Joint in the rack gearbox, preventing flex in hard cornering unlike rubber-mounted designs. This also allows rotation of the input shaft to aid steering-shaft installation around engine obstacles and the exhaust system.

The guide features over 300 individual photos completely illustrating the installation process at each and every step. Beginning with clip assembly, continuing on with removal of factory components, and ending with final installation, our comprehensive guide makes installation and setup an uncomplicated task. ◾ Alignment Shims To simplify subframe alignment in relation to the body, the OEM shim alignment method is also used on the g-Machine subframe. Note that not all replacement subframes on the market have this important feature. A set of CNC-laser-cut alignment shims is supplied to make subframe installation simple and highly accurate. ◾ Engine-Mount Options Multiple engine-mount-bracket options enable true bolt-in installation for nearly any drivetrain. Standard side-mount brackets for small-block, big-block, and LS-style V8 engines are available, as well as small- or big-block motor plates and mid plates for more serious performance applications. To positively locate the engine, driver-side motor-plate, mid-plate, and side-mount frame brackets have correct-sized bolt holes. Passenger-side mounts use slightly oversized slots to facilitate installations with minor chassis variances. Subframes ship with all mounts factorywelded and ready for installation.

Spindles feature a 2”-dropped ride height and are taller than commonly used OEM spindles, providing a lower center of gravity and a quicker camber curve for improved cornering traction. High-strength ductile iron, cast exclusively for Chassisworks by a foundry with over 50 years of spindlemaking experience, enables excellent strength-to-weight ratio through design flexibility and efficiency not possible with machined or welded designs. Specifically curved surface transitions throughout the integrated steering arm, caliper mount, and upright body were designed using state-of-theart finite element analysis (FEA) software to eliminate stress concentrations while significantly improving strength and durability. Mounting bosses and tapered bores are machined into the raw spindle castings using our fully automated, CNC horizontal machining center to ensure spindle geometry is absolutely correct. Spindle axles are machined from special high-strength alloy steel (Tensile 150,000 psi), then inserted into the machined upright forming an inseparable shrink-fit pressed assembly. Recommended brakes for use with sculpted spindles are the unvented 11-3/4” medium-duty (8336), vented 11-3/4” heavy-duty (8337), and g-Street 13” (8322) or g-Street 14” (8323) directional-vane-rotor brake kits.

Spindles accept large 1.378”-inner and 0.866”-outer wheel bearings and ship with black-powder-coat finish and necessary hardware. Chassisworks offers an extremely lightweight (6.56 lb), fabricated, chrome-moly spindle for weight-sensitive, drag race g-Machines with a crossmember and skinny tires (not recommended for street use). The use of finite element analysis (FEA) software enabled selective removal of excess material to reduce weight without decreasing strength or reliability. Our final design was first computer stress-tested for durability, then thoroughly physically tested prior to production. Components are CNC-machined with interlocking features, then fixture TIG-welded to ensure broad stable contact surfaces, consistent quality welds, and correct spindle geometry. Spindle uprights are 1-1/2” x .250”-wall chromemoly tubing and provide an extremely rigid and lightweight structural base for the remaining components. Balljoint-boss material thickness is increased at the overhanging end to establish a deeper bore with a larger taper contact area.

The kit is designed for use with g‑Machine fabricated or sculpted spindles, or applications listed below and requires 15” or larger wheels. ◾ Forged Dynalite Caliper Wilwood’s Forged Dynalite (FDL) four-piston, aluminum, lug-mount caliper is used for its light weight (4.06 lb), superior rigidity, and enhanced braking performance and pedal feel. The calipers use a closed-end, internal fluid passage design that is further strengthened by four steel bridge bolts extending through the caliper body. Stress flow forging and smooth surface transitions help eliminate stress points and reduce overall caliper deflection. FDL calipers use one-piece, 1.75”-diameter, stainless-steel pistons and high-temperature, square-faced bore seals. Stainless steel slows heat transfer to the brake fluid and improves the system’s resistance to heat-induced pedal fade. This reduction in heat also increases the service life of the fluid and seals. The four individual pistons apply pressure against both sides of the rotor. Caliper fluid requirements are matched to the output capabilities of commonly used factory master cylinders, ensuring comfortable performance in a wide range of applications. The Dynalite calipers are trouble-free and service-friendly. Vibration-dampening stainless-steel bridge-plate inserts protect the caliper body from wear caused by pad movement, greatly extending service life. Two-piece bleed screws are easily accessed at each corner of the caliper body and eliminate direct wear to the aluminum body. Brake pads are also easily changed by simply removing the retaining pin and sliding the pads out. ◾ High-Performance Rotors The kit comes standard with vented, slot-grooved-surface rotors measuring 11.75 x .81”. Rotors are available bare uncoated or with black E-coat finish and feature an integrated raised hat, increasing heat capacity to withstand extreme operating temperatures for extended periods of time; ideal for highperformance applications. To maximize cooling surface area, 32 individual air passages are cast internally into each rotor.

To solve this problem the g-Machine front-steer, manual rack and pinion can be sized from 15.5” to 29.5” (measured from inner tie-rod pivots), in one-inch increments, without affecting rack travel, 6175-215-1 steering effort, or reliability. This enables correct steering 6175-215-2 geometry for vehicles ranging from compacts to full-size pickups and allows the assembly to serve as a direct-replacement upgrade for 24.5” Mustang II racks. BILLET MANUAL RACK AND PINION, 21.5”, SATIN FINISH BILLET MANUAL RACK AND PINION, 21.5”, POLISHED FINISH Racks shown as viewed from front of vehicle ◾ Satin-Finish Rack ◾ Polished-Finish Rack ◾ Rack-and-Pinion Body The rack-and-pinion main body is made up of three components threaded together at O-ring–sealed joints to create a rigid, lightweight structure. A sturdy, polished, stainless-steel center tube connects the gear box to the outer body and features a smaller diameter for additional harmonicbalancer clearance. The gear box and opposite-end rack body are CNC-machined from aluminum to increase wall thickness for added strength directly under the rack mounting clamps without excessive weight. ◾ Unique Sculpted Gear Box A sculpted-surface gear box shape was developed through the use of finite element analysis (FEA) software to eliminate fatigue points, minimize gear box deflection, and provide an attractive modernized appearance. Due to the complexity in engineering and machining this component, most manufacturers are limited to inferior cast or simple geometric designs. To attach the protective rubber boots at each end of the rack assembly, external grooves are present for slip-proof installation and easy replacement if ever necessary.

A revolutionary adjustment mechanism, smaller than any previous design, allows our billet-aluminum body to be both shorter and lighter. The urethane eyes have up to 350% more urethane material than other brands, for superior load distribution, yet no less clearance around the eye. We also chose a premium urethane that has much higher load capacity (for improved life) than the poly bushings from other manufacturers. Urethane ends are 1-1/4” wide and accept 1/2” bolts. Installed height, travel, valving range, and mounting configuration are built to our exact specifications, whereas other manufactures are forced compromise with “off-the-shelf” products. ◾ High-Travel VariSprings The new VariSpring line of springs was designed to complement the VariShock family. Once again, we used higher technology to resolve application limitations. These springs are manufactured using a new chrome-silicon, ultra-high-tensile wire. This allows the springs to “set solid.” The springs can compress until the coils touch without damaging the spring or causing it to take a set, which ultimately changes the ride height. Since this wire can flex more than conventional wire, these springs have greater travel than our competitors’ springs of the same rate. These springs will allow your shocks to travel their full range of motion without going solid. This gives you greater traction and control at full bump, plus additional suspension travel for tuning. VariSprings have a silver-powder-coat finish. ◾ Spring Rate Selection Spring rate affects ride quality, ride height, roll rate, and performance handling characteristics. Differences in vehicles such as aluminum engine components, vehicle weight distribution, fiberglass body parts, chassis stiffening as well as wheel-size and offset and the specific performance application, should be taken into consideration. Additional tuning springs are available at a discount when purchased with a system. A good spring-rate baseline for vehicles with rear g-Bar or g-Link, and with a small-block engine seeing regular street use would be 175-200 lbs/in., depending upon desired ride quality.

Air springs incorporate VariShock valve technology and are available in single- or double-adjustable versions. When fully deflated, the vehicle rests 5 to 6 inches below stock ride height and can be raised to driving height at the push of a button. A compressor system (available separately) is required for operation. ◾ VariShock Air Springs VariShock air springs are a unique product line that combines VariShock valve technology with air springs. Air spring units feature the same revolutionary adjustment mechanism found in our VariShock coilovers, but revalved to meet the special requirements of an air spring configuration. This combination of technologies gives you complete ride control as well as adjustable ground clearance. For the ultimate in driving performance and ride height adjustability, we recommend VariShock air springs. ◾ Compressor Systems To enable care-free operation of your air spring suspension, we offer a variety of complete air management systems as well as indiviual components to configure a custom solution. ◾ AirPod™ System AirPod™ systems conveniently mount the tank, compressor(s), and valve set on one easily installed plate, eliminating tedious wiring and plumbing.

The first, a solid, adjustable rate, bar mounted to the frame rearward of the rearend housing. The second, a splined-end, tubular bar mounted to the rearend housing, below the axle. ◾ Do I really need a rear anti-roll bar? In an effort to correct excessive body roll on a muscle car, the common approach is to add a large front anti-roll bar. This may initially appear to correct the issue, but with the unintended result of increased understeer on an already nose-heavy vehicle. To regain vehicle cornering balance a rear anti-roll bar may be needed. For mild street-performance vehicles a rear anti-roll bar will provide a noticeable improvement to the “tightness” of the handling. However, on high-performance vehicles operating at or near the vehicle’s traction limits, careful testing is required. First, to determine need of a rear bar, and then to properly setup the vehicle to optimize cornering balance. Testing your vehicle with different springs, shock settings and anti-roll bars will definitely yield increased handling. If it is a specific look you are after then that’s a good enough reason to put one on your car. Nothing is better looking than our billet g-Bar, with splined-end anti-roll bar with billet aluminum arms. ◾ Sliding-Link Adjustable Anti-Roll Bar The sliding-link anti-roll bar system features a 5/8”-diameter, solid bar mounted to the same frame adapter brackets as the g-Bar suspension cradle for a complete bolt-on installation. Billetaluminum bushing housings securely hold the bar and feature a grease-zerk fitting, and black-polyurethane bushings with internal grease passages. Our unique sliding-link mechanism, utilizes three distinct indents at each end of the anti-roll-bar lever to create six incremental adjustments. The CNC-machined clevis is locked into each detent by a set screw and jam nut, preventing unintended sliding or twisting of the assembly. Links consist of 3/8” rod-ends, allowing the anti-roll bar to be precisely set to a neutral, non-preload condition, by adjusting the assembly length. The sliding-link anti-roll bar system can be used on the entire family of g-Bar suspensions. Note: Required g-Bar frame-adapter bracket with integrated anti-roll bar mounting flange is packaged with g-Bar system and must be selected at time of g-Bar purchase. 5/8”-diameter adjustable-rate bar Polyurethane bushing Billet-aluminum mount 3-position adjustment mechanism (6 total combinations) Adjustable-length endlinks for zero preload 5812-F10 5812-F20 5812-M10 5812-X10 5812-X20 G-BAR SLIDING-LINK ANTI-ROLL BAR, 1967-69 CAMARO G-BAR SLIDING-LINK ANTI-ROLL BAR, 1970-81 CAMARO G-BAR SLIDING-LINK ANTI-ROLL BAR, 1964-70 MUSTANG, 1967-70 COUGAR G-BAR SLIDING-LINK ANTI-ROLL BAR, 1962-67 CHEVY II G-BAR SLIDING-LINK ANTI-ROLL BAR, 1968-72 NOVA E Email: [email protected] E Web: CAChassisworks.com 65 HOME g-Bar Rear Anti-Roll Bars ◾ Splined-End Tubular Anti-Roll Bar Our splined-end anti-roll bar system features a 3/4”-diameter, bent-tube design, that mounts below the rearend-housing. The bar adequately clears FAB9 and OEM center sections, without decreasing ground clearance. An adjustable, billet-pivot-socket mechanism threads into the g-Bar lower axle-bracket sleeve, and allows the bar to rotate smoothly in a play-free joint. Bars are available in stock and narrowed widths for use with mini-tubbed vehicles. Billet-aluminum arms extend forward, and are connected to the chassis through links consisting of adjustable-length, 3/8” rod-end assemblies. This allows the anti-roll bar to be precisely set 5806-F10 5806-F20 5821-F10 5821-F20 5806-M10 5806-X10 in a neutral, non-preloaded state. Double-shear, steel mounts are welded along the stronger, outside corner and across the bottom of the stock frame rail. The combination of Chassisworks' exclusive pivot mechanism, splined bar ends, spherical-bearing links, and rigid chassis attachment eliminates delayed resistance in the anti-roll bar system, common with rubber-, or urethane-mounted systems. The splined-end anti-roll bar system can be used on the entire family of g-Bar suspensions. Note: Required g-Bar axle bracket with integrated anti-roll-bar socket boss is packaged with g-Bar system and must be selected at time of g-Bar purchase.

Standard housings are constructed from mild steel, but can be upgraded to 4130 chromemoly; recommended for vehicles weighing over 3500 lbs., and/or developing 650-plus horsepower. Housing hardware includes: billet-aluminum, o-ringed filler/inspection cap; axle-tube vent; magnetic drain plug; and alloy-steel, 12-point, mounting studs with locknuts. Engineered to accept all 9”, Ford-style differentials, each FAB9 includes a fully-welded center section with internal gussets, 3” axle tubes, and Ford big-bearing late-model Torino or small-GM ends (with 3.15" bearing) housing ends. All housings are manufactured in-house utilizing our state-ofthe-art robotic spray-arc welder. Weld penetration, and quality are absolutely outstanding, guaranteeing consistent, reliable performance. Center sections are fully CNC-machined after welding to provide an excellent third-member-seal surface and extremely tight tolerances on the remaining housing features. ◾ g-Bar Direct-Fit FAB9 Housings Chassisworks' g-Bar FAB9 offers exceptional performance, reliability, and adjustability in a bolt-on, factory-welded housing, complete with all suspension brackets. Housings are engineered for proper clearance using either VariShock coil-overs or air-spring suspension; with or without a back brace. Anti-roll-bar bracket options include chassis-mounted (sliding-link bar), axle-housing mounted (splined-end bar), or no anti-roll-bar brackets installed. ◾ Narrowed Housings The versatility of the FAB9 housing allows you to choose from standard stock widths or specialty housings that enable use of extremely wide tire and wheel combinations. Mini-Tub FAB9 - Lower axle brackets and control arms are moved inward to allow more room for deeper backspaced wheels on mini-tub equipped vehicles. Narrowed Widths - End-to-end housing widths can be narrowed in 1/4" increments to allow deeper outside wheel lips and adequate fender clearance. Complete correct length axle packages and third members are also available.

The complete system is comprised of 2" boxedtubing outside frame connectors, 1-5/8" roundtube center connector assembly, adjustable position driveshaft safety loop, and weld-in OEM subframe adapters, if applicable. g-Connector frame connectors, center supports, and driveshaft safety loops are powder-coated black and ship with required mounting hardware. ◾ NEW PRODUCT ◾ Applications: ◾ '67-81 Camaro/Firebird ◾ '62-67 Chevy II/Nova ◾ '68-72 Nova (Hardtop models only) ◾ Complete System Once installed the connector system provides a direct structural bridge between the rear subframe at the spring mount and the front suspension subframe. A noticeable improvement in chassis rigidity yields more responsive handling and sharper acceleration while relying less on the flexible sheet metal for chassis stiffness. Camaro application shown ◾ Subframe Connection The g-Machine subframe’s profile-milled, billet steel connector mount enables a non-flexible, precision fit for the subframe connector. The tubular connector fits snugly over the mount, flush along the lower face, and is securely held in place by doubling plates to more evenly distribute the clamping force from two 1/2” Grade 8 bolts for a slip-free joint. The 2 x 2 x .120”-wall connector tube features multiple, subtle mandrel bends to tightly follow the undercarriage for maximum ground clearance and perfect alignment with the rear factory subframe. To provide the most direct support and increase stability, the OEM leaf-spring mount sandwiches two of the three gusseted connector mounting tabs against the body, while the third tab attaches using a drilled hole at a stronger, contoured area of the undercarriage. This product ships with a black powder-coat finish, complete with Grade 8 hardware and detailed instructions.

I purchased Chassisworks’ complete bolt-on front end for it. When I received it, I was expecting to have some problems, as with anything in the aftermarket. As I was putting the frame on the car and following the detailed instructions, I was amazed that, as I proceeded with the project, everything fit — everything. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve been in the performance business for 30-some-odd years. I’ve assembled and sold performance items, and I’ve always had some sort of hassle with the install. “I couldn’t believe that everything fit...” I was so amazed that I called Chassisworks and told them that something was wrong with the kit. There was a long pause on the other end of the line, ’til I said that I couldn’t believe that everything fit, and that I wanted to compliment the workmanship and the homework that went into putting this kit together. Job well done! Thanks again, Smoky Crosman ◾ Bob Payne - 1966 Nova Earlier this year, I ran into a major chassis problem with my 1966 Nova. I finally made the decision to replace the front clip. I figured that if I was going to go through all of the trouble, I might as well go allout and replace the suspension, brakes, shocks, etc. I have never done anything like that myself, so I had several questions to ask. I called your shop and, boy, was I lucky that it was [technical representative] Mr. Mike Weddle who answered the telephone. Mike not only answered all of my questions; he made several recommendations. He did not try to sell me anything I did not need, but he made sure I got everything that I needed. I was still apprehensive. When I received the shipment, two things immediately caught my attention: the quality of the parts and how thorough, detailed and simple the installation book was. I immediately realized that even I could do this! Once I got back to the track, my fellow racers were absolutely amazed at how everything fit so well. They could not believe how “clean” it all looked, and how my stock fenders, grille and bumper were right where they needed to be. As far as performance, my 60-foot times have never been quicker, nor has my e.t. My steering is tighter than ever because of your rack and pinion, and the adjustable shocks are great. I want you to know that Mike deserves a pat on the back. Because of his assistance, you have a very happy and satisfied customer. Also, every chance I get, I will recommend your business to everyone.

Call (800) 722-2269 for ordering only; tech support by email only: [email protected]. Our 24-hour fax number is (916) 388-0295. Mail Orders: When submitting your order by mail, please provide the following information: name, billing address, shipping address, phone numbers, e-mail address, complete part numbers, quantities, and any special instructions. Credit Card Orders: We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card and American Express. Please have your credit card and the billing address available. In order to protect you and us from credit-card fraud, all credit-card orders must be shipped to the credit-card billing address or creditor authorized shipping address. Many credit card companies allow multiple shipping addresses. If necessary, you may need to call your Issuing Bank and establish your “ship-to” address. All freight charges will be added to your shipment (except for truck shipments). Customer is responsible for all costs due to refused or missed shipments. Foreign Orders: All foreign orders must be fully prepaid (including freight) in U.S. funds. Required duties and taxes are not the responsibility of Chassisworks and must be paid by the customer to the appropriate parties. ◾ SHIPPING All of our roll bars, roll cages, chassis, and welded clips are shipped by LTL truck, freight collect. Most other shipments can be sent by a small-package carrier — ground service. Available air-delivery options include: next-day service, 2-day service, 3-day service, or deferred air service to Alaska , Hawaii & Puerto Rico (combination of air and ground). You must inform us if you want your shipment by air service. Additional shipping fees will be applied to your order. Truck: All truck shipments must be 100-percent prepaid. The shipment will go collect for the freight charges only. When receiving freight via truck, it is the customer’s responsibility to verify that he/she is receiving all parts listed on the bill of lading and that all parts received are in good condition. If you sign for something you do not receive, neither the freight company nor Chassisworks/KP Components/Total Control Products/VariShock will be responsible for replacing the item. ◾ RETURNS AND CLAIMS No claims or returns accepted after 30 days from date of invoice. We will only accept a return on a part that has not been modified, is still in its original package, and is in like-new condition. You will be charged a 25-percent restocking fee on any returned goods. And you will be issued a credit with us for the balance of the price you paid for the returned part. Before returning a part, you must call us. You will be given a “Return Authorization Number” (RA#), which you must write on the outside of the box being returned. A copy of the original invoice must be included. All shipping charges on return packages must be prepaid; we will not accept a C.O.D. If, upon examination, all parts are returned and all parts are in a like-new condition, a credit will be issued less the 25-percent restocking fee. No returns on special-order parts (including, but not limited to, axles, FAB9 housings, fiberglass, chassis, welded frames, any part made or ordered to customer specs, etc.). Springs are a tuning item and cannot be returned unless defective. Back Orders: If any parts are back-ordered, they will be so noted on the invoice. Unless notified otherwise, we will ship the back-ordered parts as soon as they become available. ◾ FREIGHT CLAIMS All claims for damages, shortage, or loss must be made immediately with the carrier (i.e., UPS or the freight line). You must note any substantial damage to a package upon receipt of the shipment with the carrier. You may reorder any missing pieces from us. We will send you an invoice for the reordered parts, and you can use this invoice as proof to the carrier of replacement costs. Unfortunately, we cannot make these freight claims for you; however, if we can be of any assistance, please feel free to give us a call. Missing Pieces: Although every effort is made to ensure that each part is packaged complete, inevitably, a component may be missing. You must check each kit as soon as you receive it against the parts list which is enclosed with each part. Any shortage must be reported immediately upon receipt of the product. Claims made after 10 days will not be honored. ◾ WARRANTY NOTICE There are NO WARRANTIES, either expressed or implied. Neither the seller nor manufacturer will be liable for any loss, damage or injury, either direct or indirect, arising from the use or inability to determine the appropriate use of any product.
