Perhaps this design has been engineered, and if so I would like to see the notes to explain the design work that went into this. If it is to be proven through testing that is ok too. It should be stated though.
Sorry if this comes across like an ***.... but I already own what seems to be a $500 paper weight due to excessive flexing which could eventually lead to fatigue failure depending on use. Shame on me for not looking further into the product before buying.

Jim was the guy who produced that worthless pile of craps call Unobtanium bushings from years back. Of course what do you expect out of a software engineer, along with thousands of other engineers producing vaporware crap like Vista?
I wouldn't trust LaBreck products with a 10 foot pole.

Like I said, his designs look good on paper with no real engineering analysis. Pieces of Sh*t usually.

But can you expect any less out of Jim?

BTW, are you actually a patent attorney, or do you just work in a patent attorney's office and promoted yourself beyond your actual duties? I'd think a successful patent attorney could probably afford to buy a set of stock bushings and have them installed so he could quit bitching about a product that was never certified as being intended for street use anyway...

What the hell man, why is it that whenever Jim makes something here, and there is ANY doubt in ANY persons mind here it just becomes a bandwagon of retarded misconceptions built upon each other?
Jim if you want I can put this through solid works and shut these haters up. Or I mean you could give them formulas for torsion of arbitrary cross sections and tubes.
Anyhow I back your design looks solid and simple.

Man...some forums... start a new thread and get told to search... search for an old thread and get chastized for that...
Justin Samberg of Samberg Rod and Custom is who is now selling this design of subframe. He also has a range of other products for the V8 FD. I have his Mazda rear diff cradle and the JimLab/Dynotested version of this subframe.
I fully endorse Justin and his products! He is making some really nice stuff for the LSx FD community. Take a look at his sponsor page, first thread, over at

Samberg’s subframe is essentially Jimlab’s.

You can probably contact Jimlab on that forum.

Contact Justin. He's the producer of the only authorized copies of my engine cradle and Cobra IRS conversion kit, and he's the only one without the part fitment (not to mention failures) and delivery problems the other vendors all seem to have.
