Subframe connectors on a rotisserie

Mine didn't want to fit right next to the rocker supports, they are about a 1/2" off. It's where everything seemed to fit the best.
 
If you think about it, it really doesn't matter if it's fully loaded on blocks or gutted on a rotisserie when you put them in. What matters is having the car level and square as much as possible when they are installed. The last thing you'd want to do is jack up the left front and weld one on while putting the car in a twist.
How bout jacking the right front up and weld them in? Everything has some flex to it but imo, if our cars flexed as much as most think they do, most of them would be in the scrap heap by now. Heck, I know a guy that puts his on a frame machine and pulls the left front down nearly a quarter of an inch before welding in a full cage etc. A little bit of built in preload? After all, the engine is trying to twist the left front up. His cars go straight and launch very well....but that's not the only thing he does to them. When I found out about that I thought he was crazy but his junk does very well and he seems to know what he's doing.
 
U.S. Car Tool says to cut holes to allow the brake cable to pass through if you are still using them, what I did was to mock it up and mark where the cable needed to be and cut holes on the diagonal and weld in a piece of tubing so that the frame connector doesn't lose any strength.
